“A friend of mine told me about going to see the Statue of Liberty on a field trip with his grammar school class. He said that as they walked up the long spiral staircase, they all held hands in a line. He couldn’t see the person at the beginning or the end of the line but he felt safe. He knew he was connected to the rest of his schoolmates. That’s the way it is in AA. We can’t see the people at either end of the line. But we know they’re there — and we know we’re safe.”
“Distilled Spirits,” Tujunga, California, December 1997, AA Grapevine
