Letter to the Editor
In the last CHEM-TEXTS a reference was made to youth— Bill Broden and Chet Zawacki— winning over old age in the Twilight Golf Tournament finals. The statement was misleading.
Although George Baktis and I are 55 year old men, and in the twilight of our golf careers, we had to give the two youngsters 14 strokes for 9 holes.
When we were young fellows, we gave the strokes to the old men.

DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE
The Twelve Steps of AA
The twelve steps of AA were written by the founder of it, Bill W. and several of the original members about one year after they had achieved sobriety. They grouped together and asked themselves, how had they conquered their drinking problem.
They realized, as they thought about it, that they had in fact gone through these twelve steps. The steps today are the foundation of the AA program.
Some AA meetings are strictly for the purpose of discussing the steps and sharing experiences about them. The steps are a way of life for the recovered alcoholic. They are the guidelines for getting sober in the first place, and for mantaining sobriety. The steps keep members of AA free of resentments and away from that “first” drink.
WE . . . admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.
2—Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3—Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4—Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5—Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6—Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7—Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8—Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9—Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10—Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11—Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12—Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
