" Part III: They Nearly Lost All "

[There is no difference between you and these folks. It doesn't matter

what your individual circumstances are; you should take a lesson from

these people, for no reason other than the fact that they are in AA.]

" The thirteen stories in this group tell of alcoholism at its

miserable worst. "

[it is a cunning baffling disease, which explains everything that

cannot be adequately explained by logic and the scientific method.]

" Many tried everything--hospitals, special treatments, sanitariums,

asylums, and jails. Nothing worked. Loneliness, great physical and

mental agony--these were the common lot. Most had taken shattering

losses on nearly every front of life. Some went on trying to live with

alcohol. Others wanted to die. "

[These are AA's best role models! Someday, if you're really lucky,

you may take shattering losses on nearly every front of life. Oh, and

did we mention that AA makes you want to die MORE, not less? Get with

your HP in a hurry.]

" Alcoholism had respected nobody, neither rich nor poor, learned nor

unlettered. All found themselves headed for the same destruction, and

it seemed they could do nothing whatever to stop it. "

[Don't you like the way I weave a story, albeit a boring, tedious

story that no one really wants to listen to, out of these shattered

human lives? I'm real good at that.]

" Now sober for years, they tell us how they got well. They prove to

almost anyone's satisfaction that it's never too late to try

Alcoholics Anonymous. "

[And it's never too late to try a lobotomy, either. Come to think of

it, a lobotomy may be a healthier choice. Talk to your neurosurgeon,

but in the meantime AA will kill your spirit better than any other

nonmedical course of treatment! Available on almost any street corner!

Come one, come all, see the amazing Alcoholic Boy! He walks, he talks,

he crawls on his belly like a snake....]
