AA Thought for the Day
September 7, 2007
Anarchists
Like everything else in AA, it has grown up out of trial and error.
Nobody invented it.
Nobody has ever laid down a set of rules or regulations to cover it,
and I hope no one ever will.
This is because rules and regulations seem to be little good for us.
They seldom work well. . .
Rule-making has often been tried.
It often results in controversy among the rule-makers
as to what the rules should be.
And when it comes to enforcing an edict -- well, you all know the answer. . .
Alcoholics (no matter if ragged) are yet the most rugged of individuals,
true anarchists at heart.
- Bill W., September 1945.
Thought to Ponder....
Live and let live.
