From "There Was an Answer:" "One of the first things we heard in A.A. was that we had a choice. We could choose not to drink. We could tell the people in A.A. knew about drinking. But they also knew about NOT drinking. We decided to listen to what they had to say." c. 1987, Memo to an Inmate Who May Be an Alcoholic (A.A. Pamphlet P-9), page 9
