I reasoned I was not so far advanced as most of you fellows, that I had been usually successful in licking my other personal problems, and
that I would therefore be successful where you men failed.

Then, as year by year we walk back through our lives as far as memory will reach, we shall be bound to construct a long list of people who have, to

Drinking occasionally, and understanding your own reactions, it is possible for you to become

so.

BB
To Employers, p.143
While on the subject of confidence, can you adopt
the attitude that so far
as you are concerned this will be a strictly personal matter, that his
alcoholic derelictions, the treatment about to be undertaken, will never be discussed without his consent?

12&12
Step Eight, p.80

12&12
Step Ten, p.92
As an insurance against "big-shot-ism" we can often check ourselves by remembering that we are today sober only by the grace of God and that any success we may be having is
far more His success than ours.
49.

BB
Doctor Bob's Nightmare, p.180
Of far more importance was the fact
that he was the first living human with whom I had
ever talked, who knew what he was talking about
in regard to alcoholism from actual experience.

12&12
Step Five, p.60
While the comment or advice of others may be by no means infallible, it is likely
to be far more specific than any direct guidance we may receive while we are still so inexperienced
in establishing contact with a Power greater than ourselves.

Appendix III, The Medical View on A.A., p.570
Dr. John F. Stouffer, Chief Psychiatrist, Philadelphia General
Hospital, citing his experience with A.A., said: "The alcoholics we get here at Philadelphia General
