"Somebody's come out of the night to help"
Alan Whicker listens to People in Trouble.
Today the desperate and the wretched, the suicidal and the drug addicts, gamblers and neurotics. divorcees and alcoholics are finding salvation in the Anonymous Societies, which reach out to show them the way back.

But fellow-sufferers will help, and just a few of us are ready to listen...
