Description
Offered here is a scarce early Alcoholics Anonymous–related pamphlet titled Just One Happy Family, an uplifting combination of A.A.’s Twelve Steps and a heartfelt recovery poem describing one man’s journey from despair to fellowship and hope.
Printed on mustard-yellow textured cardstock with brown lettering, the pamphlet captures the spirit of mid-century A.A. literature: simple, direct, warm, and deeply personal. The right-hand page features the full poem “Just One Happy Family,” an ode to early sobriety, the relief of unburdening oneself in the rooms, and the sense of unity found within the fellowship.
The back cover includes a powerful statement on inclusivity in A.A. along with the Serenity Prayer.
This piece was distributed from Lincoln Park, Michigan (P.O. Box 33)—a location known to collectors as the source of several seldom-seen A.A.-related pamphlets from the 1940s–1950s.
