Northeastern Maryland Intergroup of AA

A New Outlook on Life

"There was a time when many of us believed that alcohol was the only thing that made life bearable. We could not even dream of a life without drinking. Today, through the A.A. program, we do not feel that we have been deprived of anything. Rather, we have been freed and a new dimension has been added to our lives."

This Is A.A., p. 16
