Why GEMS and now More GEMS?

My wife and I were walking together. I glanced at my watch as we walked along the boardwalk and took note of the time.

Two steps later, she asked, what time is it?

I could not remember; I had just looked at my watch, noted the time, but I could not recall it when asked. I had to look again.

Memory is strange. I look at my watch and immediately forget the time. I hear shares at AA meetings and admire the insights, but they slip from my mind. Likewise, wisdom seen in AA conversations evaporates within minutes.

These books, GEMS and More GEMS, catch and retain AA shares at meetings and thoughts that come up in conversations. We can recall the wit and wisdom and feel the love of AA meetings and conversations.

Each of these GEMS is an AA share or thought among people recovering or recovered from a seemingly hopeless condition of mind and body. They are worth remembering.
