Arrow AA Thoughts For The Day

Unity
^*^*^

" 'Practically never have I heard a heated religious, political,
or reform argument among AA members.
So long as we don't argue these matters privately,
it's a cinch we never shall publicly.'
As by some deep instinct, we AA's have known
from the very beginning that we must never,
no matter what the provocation,
publicly take sides in any fight, even a worthy one. . .
. . . We do not enter into public controversy,
because we know that our Society will perish if it does.
We conceive the survival and spread
of Alcoholics Anonymous to be
something of far greater importance
than the weight we could collectively
throw back of any other cause."


1952AAWS, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, pp. 176-77

Thought to Consider . . .

Attitudes are contagious.
Is yours worth catching?
