Alcoholics Anonymous is an in formal fellowship, without dues, of ficers, or by-laws, bound together by the fact that all its members are admittedly alcoholics who want to stop drinking, or live without alcohol. AA, as the organization is gen erally called, has within its ranks men and women from all walks of life. Doctors, ministers, bankers, law- years, teachers, farmers and busi nessmen as well as the various trades, are well represented in the rankV Beginning as a completely anony mous organization, AA has found it increasingly difficult to maintain anonymity as numbers have in creased. Membership in the United States of America now approaches 150,000. The large membership indicates the soundness of the principles of AA. Before AA, alcoholism was gen erally considered hopeless. The medi cal profession recognized the need of Members Asked To Return Cards For Club Ladies Night — Cards have been mailed for the Chamber of Commerce Ladies Night which will be held on Tuesday even ing, October 14, af 7^T0 at Hotel Mary Musgrove. The secretary, Miss Iona Blakely, asked all members who have not already done so to please return the cards, today (Thursday) as res ervations must be made early Friday morning. The event will be informal. the alcoholic as more than physical. Sanitariums, even after a year or more of expensive treatment could boast not more than 6% rehabilita tions. AA has brought hope to tens of thousands of hopeless men and wom en who drank, ' not because they wanted to, but because they coul4 not help themselves.’'It offers fellow ship of* a sort iirxpossible elsewhere. Members gladly get up-in-the middle of the night to go and help an’ alco holic who gives a distress call. AA teaches ' that alcoholism is a sickness; that it is incurable; that the alcoholic must become a total abstainer for life; that full surrender of the life <0 God, and daily reliance on God for help is essential to so briety. ' The Twelve Steps of Alcholics Anonymous are given below: 1. We admitted that we were pow erless over alcohol; that our lives had become unmanageable. 2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to ,the care of God AS WE UNDERSTOOD HIM. 4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory, of ourselves. 5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. 6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. 7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. 8. Made a list of all the persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all. 9. Made direct amends to such per sons wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. 10. Continued to take personel in ventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it. 11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God AS WE UNDER STOOD HIM, praying only for know ledge of his will for us and the poyer to carry it out. Having had a spiritual experience as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
