They tell us that we alcoholics
are the biggest rationalizers in the world;
that fortified with the excuse
we are doing great things for AA we can,
through broken anonymity,
resume our old and disastrous pursuit
of personal power and prestige, public honors,
and money -- the same implacable urges
that when frustrated once caused us to drink;
the same forces that are today
ripping the globe apart at its seams.
Moreover, they make it clear
that enough spectacular anonymity breakers
could someday carry our whole Society down
into that ruinous dead end with them.
- Bill W., January 1955.
