AA Thought for the Day

May 12, 2005

Anonymity

The entire future of our Fellowship
hangs upon this vital principle.
If we continue to be filled with the spirit and practice
of anonymity,
no shoal or reef can wreck us.
If we forget this principle, the lid to Pandora's box will be off
and the spirits of Money, Power, and Prestige
will be loosed among us.
Obsessed by these evil genii,
we might well founder and break up.
I devoutly believe this will never happen.
No AA principle merits more study and application
than this one.
- Bill W.
