The No. Dale St book does not have this statement. The author of this book was Richmond Walker, who sobered up in May 1942 in Boston. After relocating to Florida, he produced the first version of the book in 1948, distributed from his own home. Walker created the book from prayer and meditation cards he carried with him. The book is a daily reader that is still widely used by members of Alcoholics Anonymous. Walker self published the book from 1948 until 1954. Before Walker turned publishing over to Hazelden, he offered to it Alcoholics Anonymous for publishing. The 4th General Service Conference declined this offer in 1954. At that time, Alcoholics Anonymous desired to be its own publisher and own all of its own literature. This was in line with it newly-adopted tradition of non-affiliation. To this day, Alcoholics Anonymous creates and publishes it's own material. In addition to this book, Walker also wrote For Drunks Only: One Man's Reaction to Alcoholics Anonymous in 1945 and The 7 Points of Alcoholics Anonymous in 1956. Richmond Walker passed away on March 25, 1965.
