AA Thought for the Day

We saw that the more AA minded its own business
the greater its general influence would become.
Medicine and religion and psychiatry began to borrow
some of our ideas and experience.
So did research, rehabilitation, and education.
All sorts of therapeutic groups began to spring up. . .
They, too, borrowed from AA, but they made their own adaptations.
They worked their own fields, and we did not have to endorse them
or tell them how to live.
Our influence has not been confined just to these fields.
It is beginning now to be general.
It crops out in political and business life.
People who know alcoholics and their families are deeply affected. . .
The more AA sticks to its primary purpose,
the greater will be its helpful influence everywhere.

Thought to Ponder....

There is no strength without unity.
