Meetings

When we are generous with the hat, we give a token that we are grateful for our blessings and evidence that we are eager to share what we have found with all who still suffer.

“Concerning any given service, we pose but one questions-Is this service really needed? If it is, then maintain it we must, or fail in our mission to those who seek AA."

“To the world, you may be one person, but to one person, you may be the world.”

“Let us never fear needed change. Certainly, we have to discriminate between changes for the worse and changes for the better, but once a need becomes clearly apparent, in an individual, a group, or AA as a whole, we cannot stand still and look the other way. The essence of growth is willingness to change for the better and then an unremitting willingness to shoulder the responsibility.”

“A.A.’s Twelfth Step, carrying the message, is the basic service that our fellowship gives; it is our principal aim and the main reason for our existence. A.A. is more than a set of principles; it is a society of recovered alcoholics in action.”
