January 1946 Readers DIGEST
CONDENSED STORY FROM THE GRAPEVINE TITLED MY RETURN
FROM THE HALF-WORLD OF ALCOHOLISM' (FROM THE 1945 DECEMBER
ISSUE...GRAPEVINE WAS ONLY ABOUT 18 MONTHS OLD)...IT TELLS THE STORY OF
HOW IN 1944 A EX-MARINE FOUND AA THROUGH THE MAIL....THIS WAS A VERY
INSPIRING ARTICLE AND BROUGHT MANY INQUIRIES INTO THE STILL SMALL
STAFFED AA OFFICE (THE ALCOHOLIC FOUNDATION...AS IT WAS KNOWN)....THIS
WAS THE FIRST AND AS FAR AS I KNOW THE LAST TIME A GRAPEVINE ARTICLE WAS
PUBLISHED IN A NATIONAL MAGAZINE AS THIS, ALSO THIS Magazine HAD ONLY
ONCE PUBLISHED AN ARTICLE THAT EVEN MENTIONED AA WHICH WAS BACK IN 1944. |
