There was a time and not so long ago, that groups were, only established in the larger centres. Today all that is changed. New groups are being start- ed in many of our smaller' towns and cities and we venture to say that there are very few communities in Ontario that do not Wave a member of A. A. residing in it. While the general policy of A. A. is built on its anonymity as far as the names of individual members are con- cerned, the movement as a whole reels izes that certain limited publicity is necessary if new groups are to grow and function as a potent force against alcoholism. Occasionally in their enx- iety to maintain secrecy, groups are apt to forget their obligation to other alcoholics in the communities who may not have heard that A, A. has come to town. The fundamentals of this organiza- tion are simple and direct. Alcoholics Anonymous has but one purpose—to help the sick alcoholic recover—ie. he Wishes! This phrase if he wishes is important, Basically the success or failure Of his contact with A. A. emst first and foremost be condensed to the realization that he has become powerless over Ttleohol, is a peoblem drinker and as such must admit that Ise has become an alcoholic., This fact being admitted and ac- cepted it is encouraging to know that today alcoholism is classified as a dis- ease. It is an illnes and we in A. A. from a survey of hundreds of cases believe this classification to be correct. Our founders defined it thus: `,`An ob- session of the mind coupled to an al- lergy of the body." It is also well to know that, "the only requirement for A, A. membership is an honest desire to stop drinking." Also the prospective member may rest assured "That Al- coholics Anonymous has no opinion on any controversial subject, nor does it oppose anyone." Our sole and only aim is to show the sick alcoholics who want to get well how-they may do so. That this movement has been. reas- onably successful is vouched for by the fact that while 14 year ago there were on this continent only 2 mem- bers, todal, there are in the neighbour- hood of 80,000. Out of this vast mem- bership, 75 per cent have regained control of their lives. It is not, how- ever, a cure-all, not a magic formula. Much depends on the individual, Tbe association and fellowship with other alcoholics ,individually or in groups and the frank discussion of-this baff- ling malady has resulted in --recovery when every other known method of treatment has failed. It is our sincere hope in presenting this brief outline of A. A. that it may be read by someone who is faced with the grim realization .that he wants to stop drinking, hut no matter how hard he tries, no matter how many resolu- tions he makes, is unable to do so. We trust that they_ will feel free to contact us. A letter addressed to Box 5, Clif- ford, or Box 123, Palmerston, Ontario, I will receive prompt and confidential attention. May yours be the very nest problem to he solved.—Com.
