December 1948, in Detroit, Michigan, Dr. Bob spoke saying,
"...The trouble with us alcoholics was this: We demanded that the world give us
happiness and peace of mind in just the particular way we wanted to get it - by
the alcohol route. And we weren't successful. But when we take time to find out
some of the spiritual laws, and familiarize ourselves with them, and put them
into practice, then we do get happiness and peace of mind. I feel extremely
fortunate and thankful that our Heavenly Father has let me enjoy them. Anyone
can get them who wishes to. There seem to be some rules that we have to follow,
but happiness and peace of mind are always here, open and free to anyone. And
that is the message we can give to our fellow alcoholics.
