I will only quote part of the article in the July 1995 Grapevine:
GV: Is there anything you regret having written in your story?

Dr. Paul: Well, I must say I'm really surprised at the number of people who
come up to me and ask me confidentially if what they've heard on the very best
authority - usually from their sponsor - is true: that there are things in my
story I want to change, or that I regret having written it, or that I want to
take it out because it says so much about drugs, or that I've completely changed
my mind that AA is the answer or even that acceptance is the answer. I've also
heard - on the best authority. -that I've died or gotten drunk or on pills. The
latest one was that my wife Max died and that I got so depressed I got drunk.
So, is there anything I'd like to change? No. I believe what I said more now
than when I wrote it.

This was taken out of context- the whole article should be available in the
Grapevine digital archives.

Subject: [AAHistoryLovers] Dr. Paul O. on acceptance


I have heard that Dr. Paul O. did not like the idea of people in the program
referring to the one paragraph about acceptance because it was take out of
context. Does anyone know what he has actually said about that?

Grateful so I serve,
