Power of example<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


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?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


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\u2019s 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
