Like other men and women,
we AA's look with deep apprehension
upon the vast power struggle about us,
a struggle in myriad forms that invades every level,
tearing society apart.
I think we AA's are fortunate to be acutely aware
that such forces must never be ruling among us,
lest we perish altogether.
The Tradition of personal anonymity
and no honors at the public level
is our protective shield.
Humility, expressed by anonymity,
is the greatest safeguard that AA can ever have.
A A = Always Aware.
