“As we listen to one another’s anxieties and problems, we understand that it’s not what’s happening to you … it is how you cope with it, survive it, and don’t give up and drink over it … dashed career hopes, unrequited love, crippling disease, poverty, approaching death. Together we face it, equipped only with the vast, previously undiscovered resources of power within us, which faced and conquered alcoholism for us.”
“Beyond the Generation Gap,” Saratoga, California, August 1985, The Home Group: Heartbeat of AA
