AA Thought for the Day

But when we had to go into action -- to function as groups --
we discovered that we also had to become a democracy.
As our oldtimers retired, we therefore began to elect our trusted servants
by majority vote.
Each group in this sense became a town meeting.
All plans for group action had to be approved by the majority.
This meant that no single individual could appoint himself
to act for his group or for AA as a whole.
Neither dictatorship nor paternalism was for us.

Thought to Ponder....

Into service out of self.
