Quotes from Our Co-Founder: Bill W.-Part 1 "Most of us feel we need look no further for Utopia. We have it with us right here and now. Each day my friend's simple talk in our kitchen multiplies itself in a widening circle of peace on earth and good will to men." Bill Wilson Source: C. 1939...

It wasn't like this when I first became a member in the 1970's. People still had respect and were responsible to the newcomer. Since most members think...

I have heard time and again that you "have to put your sobriety first, before anything else, or you won't have anything else", which i can totally agree with and groove on. Alcohol had invaded and taken over parts of my life where it didn't belong. I am DEEPLY grateful to God, AA and my AA frie...
