AA Thought for the Day

May 12, 2004

Unity

For thousands of alcoholics yet to come,
AA does have an answer.
But there is one condition.
We must, at all costs, preserve our essential unity;
it must be made unbreakably secure.
Without permanent unity
there can be little lasting recovery for anyone.
Hence our future absolutely depends upon
the creation and observance
of a sound group Tradition.
First things will always need to be first:
humility before success, and unity before fame.

Bill W., Memphis Talk, September 19, 1947.
