now we're running into what we call the dual purpose stroke and we're running into this
question of what we're going to do with people who have related crimes I've got a hell of a
query sex problem I say or are we go to divorce problem or we got on our colleagues problem all
we got a gambling problem or we're too fast or we're nervous we've got a neurotic problem
well around in a a we got people with all those problems I guess it got all up myself however I
am a drunken you're a job doll the basics of the primary basis of my identification is you at the
hell of a time I had break-ins and a wonderful time I've had yet all which has involved however
was dealing with some of the younger lying problems which we already had so now as you
know there have been a great many sort of off juice or copy because they ate on staple thanks
Emily some until my school if neurotic Anonymous Gamblers Anonymous and addicts Anonymous Narcotics
Anonymous into or stays anonymous and we have some organizations that deal with metal cases
light recovery incorporated and we are not alone sorry and some of these pieces we'll get to is
very well under there for now some of our members go over to these other people to help them and to
be housed and that is fun but now again comes the old problems that we had with the club with
the family with the education now we want to be married so let's say I'm enough Heineken as well
as an alcohol well we got around in a a lot of people had trouble not only was held but was I
mean the genuine advic they identified with us they joined us because they were also alcohol
but naturally having had the addiction problem so saying all the awful agony is that they want
to carry this message to the pure straight edge so in some cases they tried to bring those people to
a a meetings and bring them into full membership right away the wheels began declined because are
we going to take on all of the world's problem and can anybody with the problem join me yeah no it's
excited long ago a a whisper drum no matter what complications of drum said how many other problems
we don't care anything about that the only thing we want no ideas drugs you want to get off and
then we'll stick to that but now comes the guy was to turn the Kotik problem he comes to Negroni to
go out on a ball well under group autonomy this group can really do about a bit like you could
you can say them well we only deal without Poly care all you've been say - and we'll look you can
comment it at an open meeting and maybe you'll find if you find around of also has a narcotic
problem who can help you start in a conic group or maybe we're going to put you up on the platform
and let you give a narcotic testimony and we're going to put you on the committee and we're gonna
take you is well this last mentioned of course just doesn't work for me because it's not a
straight necrotic lytic stage did the company a member he has to be capable of doing a 12-stepper
he has to be capable of doing a a committee work and he has to be capable of making an a it takes
from a platform and how the hell can he he's a narcotic he can so that it is my hope that were
there a good sized open meaning that a a member who themselves have had a narcotics I wish the
worth of narcotic should certainly be permitted to bring these people and visitors together with the
idea that they may be able to start their own book but I don't see how we can go any further
with that and the group which is the last word on this topic totally people can do what it's like
now then the question comes if you brought in an institution once you've got a peculiar condition
and where they can't have the one meeting a week be a group and here are a lot of narcotic people
and here are people at the plane crime problem and other problems and they see these drunks getting
so much better emotionally and say how do you do it and you go to the warden maybe the group vote
the warden and pistol can't these other people come to army or can't they have separate meetings
that can't we help my warden said no you can't have separately you just have one week it would be
great if you do they have these people and all I'm telling you is I wouldn't so okay so in comes a
guy with it such problem with the narcotic problem or the burglary problem punished or whatever it is
and he sits down with the a Negro thin to me well I say well the only thing that that group mustn't
do is to say we're the a a neurotic group or we are the a a burglars if that group is going to be
listed in the directory age in a group these other people have got to be visible then when they go
out there isn't any guarantee that you're going to receive a guy who is just a plain yeah good
I would rank any crop maybe it would be received as an orphan lady maybe not I don't know I think
that's up to this is to each cruel I see there are these borderline cases which are not matter
so shifting the a tradition around it's just a reasonable application and again it's this middle
court you can take the court will have nothing to do with anything whatever floats on a pure drunk
well in the first place is not always able to stop or you can take the attitude a is going to
save the world let's bring mall now how do you apply the a tradition of the single purpose of
a a and the no endorsement idea of a a and the group autonomy idea of a a if you take those
three three traditions and you can work out fair application which will make what we know available
to these other situations with groups and at the same time not yet as married and compromise which
might rolling on because I think that it is a fundamental running all through government and
through all forms shot that your first function is to preserve your own fantasy let its first
preserve our politics and our then next let us as individual do what we can for the world around
