Dear All,
I would like to share with you an extract from the Share Magazine which
is the UK's equivalent of Grapevine:
                        'The Sacred Illness.'
        'Thus I believe the greatest positive event of the 20th
        century occurred in Akron, Ohio, on June 10th 1933, when
        Bill W and Dr. Bob convened the first AA meeting. It was
        not only the beginning of the self help movement and the
        beginning of the integration of science and spirituality
        at grassroots level, but also the beginning of the
        community movement.
        That is the other reason why I think of addiction as the
        sacred disease. When my AA friends and I get together, we
        often come to conclude that very probably God
        deliberately created the disorder of alcoholism in order
        to create alcoholics, in order that these alcoholics
        might create AA, and thereby spearhead the community
        movement which is going to be the salvation not only of
        alcoholics but of us all.'
