In  this  issue,  we  will  be  continuing  our  look  back  to  the  beginnings  of  our  Program  with Wally   P’s   “Back   to   Basics”   articles   on   Steps   3   and   4.   Entitled   “Back   to   the   Basics   of Recovery,”  this  is  the  original  action  program  used  with  newcomers  by  the  first  members  of AA. Local  members’  contributions  this  month  include  “A  New  Beginning  in  Life,”  which  tells  the story  of  hitting  bottom  and  the  miracle  of  finding  hope  in  AA.    In  “I  Started  Drinking  Early  in Life”   tells   the   story   of   an   alcoholic   who   knew   she   had   a   problem   for   decades   before   an overseas  move  to  Singapore  finally  brought  her  into  the  rooms.
