Practical experience
shows that nothing will so much insure immunity from drinking as intensive work
with other alcoholics. It works when other activities fail. This is our twelfth
suggestion: Carry this message to other alcoholics! You can help when no one
else can. You can secure their confidence when others fail. Remember they are
very ill.
Life will take on
new meaning. To watch people recover, to see them help others, to watch
loneliness vanish, to see a fellowship grow up about you, to have a host of
friends - this is an experience you must not miss. We know you will not want to
miss it. Frequent contact with newcomers and with each other is the bright spot
of our lives.
Lea got her first sponsee tonight.
That is the best thing that could have happened to her. Working with others is vital to our
recovery. We learn how to be a friend, make
new friends, and become much happier in our own lives.
I am grateful for the fellowship I have found in recovery and for the
progress that Lea has made in her recovery.
