Tradition Two
When told that our Society
has no president having authority to govern it, no treasurer who can compel the payment of any dues, no
board of directors who
can cast an erring member into outer darkness, when indeed no A.A. can give another a directive and enforce obedience, our friends gasp and exclaim, "This simply can't be. There must be
an angle somewhere."

BB p.18,
There Is A Solution
But the ex-problem drinker who has found this solution, who is properly
armed with facts about himself, can generally win the entire confidence of another alcoholic in a few hours.

Each day, somewhere in the world, recovery begins when one alcoholic talks with another alcoholic, sharing experience, strength,
and hope.

This sometimes nearly
drove me back to drink, but I soon found that when all other measures failed, work with another alcoholic would save the day.

12&12 p.74,
Step Seven
But when we have taken a square look at some of these defects, have discussed
them with another, and have become willing to have them

the true purpose of our lives, produced another bad result.

BB xxii,
Foreword to Third Edition
The Twelve Steps that summarize the program may
be called los Doce Pasos in one country, les Douze Etapes in another, but they trace exactly the same path to recovery that was blazed by
the earliest members of
