When we AA's look to the future,
we must always be asking ourselves
if the spirit which now binds us together
in our common cause
will always be stronger than those personal ambitions
and desires which tend to drive us apart.
So long as the positive forces are greater we cannot fail.
Happily, so far, the ties that bind us
have been much stronger than those that might break us.
Though the individual AA is under no human coercion,
is at almost perfect personal liberty, we have, nevertheless,
achieved a wonderful unity on vital essentials.
- Bill W., September 1945.
There is no strength without unity.
