Foreword
After three years of trial and error in selecting the most
workable tenets upon which the Society could
be based, and after a large amount of failure in getting alcoholics to recover,
three successful groups emerged -- the first at Akron, the second at New York, and the third at Cleveland.

We think that each group should soon achieve this ideal; that any public solicitation of funds using the name of Alcoholics Anonymous
is highly dangerous, whether by groups, clubs, hospitals, or other outside agencies; that acceptance of large gifts from any source, or of contributions carrying any obligation whatever, is
unwise.
