When we AA's look to the future,
we must always be asking ourselves if the spirit
which now binds us together in our common cause
will always be stronger than those
personal ambitions and desires
which tend to drive us apart.
So long as the positive forces are greater
we cannot fail.
Happily, so far, the ties that bind us
have been much stronger than those that might break us.
Though the individual AA is under no human coercion,
is at almost perfect personal liberty,
we have, nevertheless,
achieved a wonderful unity on vital essentials.
- Bill W., Box 1980: The AA Grapevine, September 1945.

Thought to Ponder....

There is no strength without unity.
