The Daily Reflection today speaks of A.A.'s Primary Purpose - "to
stay sober and to help another alcoholic to achieve sobriety".
However, so many young people today come into the rooms dual-
addicted to drugs other than booze. Should we not allow them to
share about the drugs (other than alcohol) that are part of their
story? An interesting question that I have heard discussed in
the "parking lot" before and after meetings in my area lately. My
opinion - a drug is a drug .. my drug of choice happens to be
alcohol. I believe we should allow any alcoholic / addict to share
their full story so we can best understand where they are coming
from. What do YOU think?

FYI: The quote in the reading from "A.A. Comes of Age" in Daily
Reflections conflicts my viewpoint:

OUR PRIMARY PURPOSE

"The more A.A. sticks to its primary purpose, the greater will be
its helpful influence everywhere."
A.A. COMES OF AGE, p. 109

Anyway, the weekend is here - get out and enjoy it!
