“My home group’s primary purpose is to carry the AA message to the alcoholic who still suffers. Some of those have much sobriety, because the alcoholic who still suffers is not necessarily a newcomer. However, when newcomers do show up at our home group we try to focus our discussion on what’s in the Big Book and how it can help them if they are willing to follow some simple suggestions.”
“The Cement That Binds Us,” Paso Robles, California, May 1998, AA Grapevine
