“Our resentments, anxieties and depressions were definitely caused, we claimed, by our unfortunate circumstances and by the inconsiderate behavior of other people. To our consternation, our sponsors didn’t seem impressed … They just grinned and said, ‘Why don’t we sit down and take a hard look at all of AA’s Twelve Steps? Maybe you have been missing a lot — in fact, nearly everything.’”
AA Co-Founder, Bill W., July 1965, “Responsibility Is Our Theme”, The Language of the Heart
