AA Thought for the Day

September 17, 2006

Unity

Neither AA as a whole, nor any AA group
ought to enter any other activity than straight AA.
As groups, we cannot endorse, finance, or form an alliance
with any other cause, however good;
we cannot link the AA name to other enterprises
in the alcohol field
to the extent the public gets the impression
we have abandoned our sole aim. . .
To act otherwise will certainly imperil our unity,
and to maintain our unity is surely our greatest obligation --
to our brother alcoholics and the public at large.
Experience, we think, has already made these principles
self-evident.
- Bill W., January 1947.
