Before the jack Alexander article came out, AA wasnt known in very many areas. After that article came out, AA central office( I think that's what is was called back then) started getting letters from all over the U.S. requests for the big book, people in areas where the closest meeting might me a thousand miles away. People were getting sober with nothing more than putting into action the suggestion in the big book.
Then started meetings in their area.
If they could get sober with nothing more than the big book, I have faith you can,too.
Then start a meeting.
The support of meetings is a blessing, but going to meetings and not drinking don't treat alcoholism. They aren't what caused me to recover from the seeming less hopeless state of body and mind that made me drink. It was putting into action whats in the big book.
You mention you used to go to meetings every day. That's not possible now?
