Ce blog, fondé en janvier 2008, n'engage aucunement le Mouvement des Alcooliques Anonymes ni Al-Anon Alateen. Son unique objectif est d'informer sur AA et Al-Anon Alateen.
This story, of one of the most difficult but absorbing cases to come before the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners in many years, will be an inspiration to all who read it. In many ways, it is an old, familiar story -- with the very big difference that it promises to have a happy, invigorating ending.
It is a completely true story, which adds to its poignancy, representing truthfully and authentically a man's life in which the Members of the Board have played a small part. The great accomplishment made here was a marvelous personal victory and has attested to the great power of God.
Members of the Board, who have followed the case closely through the years, shared in all the personal and professional developments. In the end they were all delighted and inspired. They believe that all readers will be too.
