It's has forgotten where it came from...

I attended AA meetings on an intermittent butt for regular periods in and around the urban conurbation that is Greater Manchester for well over 20 years...

The one question uppermost in my mind was why I couldn't stop drinking?

Problem was they talked about everything else but that! In fact at some if they didn't say the AA Preamble you wouldn't have even known you were at an AA meeting?

Help arrived when someone, to whom I'll always be eternally grateful handed me a recording of one of 'Charlie & Joe's:Big Book Study Meetings' and these two fine gentlemen told me all I needed to know and more... best sponsors I or anyone else ever had...

The problem with AA meetings is perfectly highlighted by Carl Sandburg saying,' A society that forgets where it came from, will destroy itself'...
