My primary purpose is to stay sober.
In AA, I have no other goal,
and the importance of this is a matter of life or death for me.
If I veer from this purpose I lose.
But AA is not only for me;
it is for the alcoholic who still suffers.
The legions of recovering alcoholics stay sober
by sharing with fellow alcoholics.
The way to my recovery is to show others in AA
that when I share with them,
we both grow in the grace of the Higher Power,
and both of us are on the road to a happy destiny.
A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.
