September 17, 2022 “Once upon a time, all AA meetings were held in homes. There weren’t any committees and nobody put up a cent. We hadn’t even a name and founders were unheard of. It was that simple. “Yet we did enjoy one ‘service’ — a valuable one, too. Wives baked cakes and brewed strong coffee for us alkies huddling together in the front parlors, still terrified that our new program might not work after all. Those wifely dispensations of good cheer smoothed the way and so lightened our burden of doubt.” AA Co-Founder, Bill W., November 1951, “Services Make AA Tick”, The Language of the Heart 2022 Carry The Message Project Get your group, district, area or AA friends to join in.
