While I'm glad you found some wisdom in the words I posted, they are not my work.
In 1966 an anonymous author wrote "The Eye Opener"; it was very popular in AA for a long time. I got a copy and thought I'd pass it along.
I am astonished that anyone would mistake it's wisdom for my lack thereof.
PREFACE "This little book is dedicated to bring various phases of AA philosophy to the arrested alcoholic ans interpreted and understood by the author. It is not in any sense official, for AA has no official opinion and each member speaks only for himself. "The author of this poor work is neither a writer nor a scholar. His philosophy is not original and was gleaned from many sources. If some hear is made lighter, some happier, or some soul strengthened, we will feel bountifully repaid for our efforts."
The publishers gratefully acknowledge the generosity of T.W.R.
