Meeting Closing
.

.
In closing, I would like to say that 

the opinions expressed here were strictly 

those of the person who gave them.  

Take what you liked and leave the rest.
.


The things you heard were spoken 

in confidence and should be treated as

confidential.  Keep them within 

the walls of this room and the confines 

of your mind.
.


A few special words to those of you who

haven't been with us long:  Whatever

your problems, there are those among us

who have had them too.  If you try to

keep an open mind, you will find help.

You will come to realize that there is 

no situation too difficult to be bettered

and no unhappiness too great to be

lessened.
.


We aren't perfect.  The welcome we give

you may not show the warmth we have in

our hearts for you.  After a while,

you'll discover that though you may not

like all of us, you'll love us in a very

special way - the same way we already

love you.
.


Talk to each other, reason things out

with someone else, but let there be no

gossip or criticism of one another.

Instead, let the understanding, love and

peace of the program grow in you 

one day at a time.
.


Will all who care to, join me in the

closing prayer?
