AA Thought for the Day

April 3, 2002

Anonymity

Nothing matters more to AA's future welfare
than the manner in which we use
the colossus of modern communication.
Used unselfishly and well, it can produce results
surpassing our present imagination.
Should we handle this great instrument badly,
we shall be shattered by the ego manifestations
of our own people.
Against this peril, AA members' anonymity
before the general public
is our shield and our buckler.
- Bill W., Box 1980: The AA Grapevine, November 1960.
