I like how frank these are. No hand-wringing, no emotional baggage, just practical.  And everybody looks great in their suits and fedoras...

Interesting info.

In all the NYC meetings I have been to they don't currently say the lords prayer, just end with the serenity prayer.

The movie was made in 1946 before the traditions where written, I wonder if stuff like this violates the PR policy of attractions vs promotion?

Thanks, Dean!

I love these things. Gonna lose my macho-man street cred (kidding......) but brought a bit of a tear to my eye. So thankful for these guys.

And yep, love the threads and hats!

Steve

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite line:

"I don't know if I'm happy cause I don't drink,
or if I don't drink cause I'm happy..."

I want to get THERE...
