AA was nurtured in its early days around a kitchen table.
Many of our pioneer groups
and some of our most resultful meetings and best programs
have their origin around that modest piece of furniture,
with the coffeepot handy on the stove.
True, we have progressed materially to better furniture
and more comfortable surroundings.
Yet the kitchen table must ever be appropriate for us.
It is the perfect symbol of simplicity. . .
Experience has taught us that simplicity is basic
in preservation of our personal sobriety
and helping those in need.
- Dr. Bob S., AA co-founder, September 1948.
While it isn't always easy, if I keep it simple, it works.
K I S S = Keep It Serenely Simple.
