AA Thought for the Day

August 3, 2007

Membership

It was thus proven that, as individuals, we can carry the AA experience
and ideas into any outside field whatever,
provided we guard anonymity and refuse to use the AA name
for money-raising or publicity purposes. . .
We cannot give AA membership to nonalcoholic narcotic addicts.
But like anyone else, they should be able to attend certain open AA meetings,
provided, of course, that the groups themselves are willing.
AA members who are so inclined should be encouraged
to band together in groups to deal with sedative and drug problems.
But they ought to refrain from calling themselves AA groups.
.- Bill W., February 1958.
