AA Thought for the Day

November 10, 2003

Primary Purpose

"Shoemaker, stick to thy last"
is no dull cliche for Alcoholics Anonymous.
Together we have found a substantial remedy
for a terrible malady.
Of course we might interest ourselves
in fields of education, research, neurosis, and the like.
But as a society, should we?
Our experience says we definitely should not.
We can and do help, as individuals, in those fields.
That is good.
But as a fellowship, we know that we must not be diverted.
It is our experience as alcoholics
that makes us of unique value
on our sector of the total alcoholic front.
We can approach sufferers as no one else can.
- Bill W., 1955.
