"Along the way, I have learned that life is not so much what happens to us but how we are able to deal with it, and that with good communication with our Higher Power we can handle anything. Prayer and meditation are essential."

FEATURED LITERATURE: FORMING TRUE PARTNERSHIPS: How AA members use the program to improve relationships. This collection of Grapevine stories shows the many ways members use the Twelve Steps, sponsorship, and the tools of the program to improve and repair relationships, old and new. When we were drinking, many of us had, as the Step Four chapter in the AA Book Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions puts it, "a total inability to form a true partnership with another human being." With candid and colorful stories on families, friendships, marriage, divorce, dating, romance, coworkers, sponsorship and pets, this book covers a wide range of experience from sober alcoholics on how we form true partnerships with others.
