We alcoholics are the biggest rationalizers in the world,
and fortified with the excuse
that 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 forces
that are today ripping the globe apart at the seams.
These lessons make clear that enough spectacular
anonymity breakers could someday
carry our whole society down
into that ruinous dead end with them.
Walk softly and carry a Big Book.
