“The last 15 years of my life have been rich and meaningful. I have had my share of problems and heartaches and disappointments because that is life. I have a wealth of friends and with the AA friends, an unusual quality of fellowship. And as the years go by, working together, sharing our experiences with one another, and also sharing a mutual trust, understanding, and love, without strings, without obligation, we acquire the relationships that are unique and priceless.”
