"You see, our talk was a completely mutual thing.
I had quit preaching.
I knew that I needed this alcoholic
as much as he needed me.
This was it.
And this mutual give-and-take
is at the very heart of all AA's Twelfth Step work today.
This was how to carry the message.
The final missing link was located right there
in my first talk with Dr. Bob."
Bill W. and Dr. Bob's first meeting in Akron, Ohio, May 12, 1935.

Thought to Ponder....

We in AA don't carry the alcoholic;
we carry the message.
