As lawyers, we understand contracts; we draft them and interpret them. Contracts are promises; promises are contracts. Conducting a clause-by-clause analysis, we can see truths and meanings, often overlooked. This is a deeper legalistic dive into a very important contract. These small essays on our sobriety contact are "respectfully submitted." The author hopes and prays that you enjoy them. Remember the promise made by Bill H and others: "lawyers that stick around AA tend to do very well in the end."
