SEPTEMBER 2019

The Key is available for printing at

www.alanonpgh.org

We take Step Nine for ourselves, so that

we may lift the burden of guilt and live as

loving adults in the present instead of

frightened, angry children lost in the past.

We do so without expectation of how

others will react to our amends. Whether

or not they accept us is none of our

business.
