Remember Mindfulness – sit comfortably
Power of example
Richmond Walker wrote the Twenty-four Hours a
Day AA meditation book, published in 1954. It has
sold over ten million copies. Richmond was a
member of the first AA group in Boston, USA and
died in 1965 after twenty-two years of sobriety. An
artist and a poet as well as a dedicated family man,
he is a great example of service freely given. The
Little Black Book, as it is known, was officially
published by the Hazelden Foundation in an
amicable arrangement with Alcoholics Anonymous.
Richmond did not profit financially, and his name
did not appear as author. Am I ready to do service
unselfishly?
The writer of the Little Black Book continues the
tone set in the AA Big Book, first published some
fifteen years earlier: This is what I found, this is
what I did, do you wish to do the same, with God’s
help? The book does not advocate any specific
religion. If I wish to grow spiritually, then there
could hardly be a better method.. Today I give
thanks for the power of example in my recovery.
