AA Thought for the Day
September 2, 2005
Purpose
We have denied ourselves personal government,
professionalism, and the right to say
who our members shall be.
We have abandoned do-goodism, reform, and paternalism.
We refuse charitable money and prefer to pay our own way.
We will cooperate with practically everybody,
yet we decline to marry our Society to anyone.
We abstain from public controversy
and will not quarrel among ourselves
about those things that so rip society asunder --
religion, politics, and reform.
We have but one purpose: to carry the AA message
to the sick alcoholic who wants it.
- Bill W., January 1955.
Thought to Ponder....
AA is like an adjustable wrench,
it fits almost any nut.
