Hijam Dinesh writes, A.A (Alcoholics Anonymous) is an organization founded by a trader and a doctor from New York and Acron. In their former life they were alcoholics. Following certain determination they avoid alcohol. Now the AA extends its branches throughout the world. It has 12 steps and 12 rules. Any alcoholic may follow these steps and rules. Bill Wilson, the founder says; '... experience taught us that to take away any alcoholic’s full chance for sobriety in AA was sometimes to pronounce his death sentence and often to condemn him to endless misery. Who dared to be judge, jury, and executioner of his own sick brother? Most of the writers' names of the essay in this book are not mentioned. The writers express their experiences on alcoholism and indicate the measures to avoid alcohol. One S Muhindro Singh concludes his essay entitled Lankhraba Khongthang that he has the willingness to keep the principles of the AA after his participation in the 1st Anniversary, Group of Redemption Alcoholic Anonymous held at Kripa Society's hall.
