A
reformed drunkard at the age of 45 became sober and received a vision
giving a message to adhere to their traditional
customs. Papoonon While I lay in the hospital the thought came that there were
thousands of hopeless alcoholics who might be glad to have what had been
so freely given me. Perhaps I could help some of them. They in turn might
work with others. Bill W. 1934 Big Book pg. 14 In
1990 Earl L., a Paiute Indian had a vision. Earl saw in the vision Indian
Nations coming together in unity, celebrating sobriety and embracing their
culture. He saw the helping hand of AA as being attractive within Indian
Country. Earl’s vision saw our traditional ways as adding to the warmth
and unconditional love of AA’s principals. "History of the Native American Indian General Service
Office" Creator may we always believe in our visions.
