Going to Meetings and Not Drinking Doesn't Treat Alcoholism - AA Speaker - Paul M.

He talks about getting sober in 1947, hearing Bill Wilson speak, making delayed amends, reworking inventory, and watching people change through honest fifth steps and direct restitution. At 83, Paul is still working the steps every week and making the case that meetings are good, but the steps are the program.
