Although good many of you have heard or have read articles written about the inception of AA, there are probably some who haven't. And from that brief story, there are some things to be learned. So, even at risk of repetition, I would like to relate just exactly what did happen in those very early days. And I feel there is a lesson to be learned and one that we must never forget if we wish to maintain paid-up insurance policies against our drinking.
