Step Nine, p.85
This atmosphere of approval and praise is apt to be so exhilarating as
to put us off balance by creating an insatiable appetite for more of the same.

12&12
Step Twelve, p.114
Our basic troubles are the
same as everyone else's, but when an honest effort is made "to practice these principles
in all our affairs," well-grounded A.A.'s seem to have the ability, by God's grace, to take these troubles in stride and turn them into demonstrations of faith.

Foreword to Second Edition, p.xx
Alcohol being no respecter of persons, we are an accurate
cross section of America, and in distant lands, the same democratic evening-up process is now going on.

BB
There Is A Solution, p.18
That the man who is making the
approach has had the same difficulty, that he obviously knows what he is talking about, that his whole
deportment shouts at the
new prospect that he is a man with a real answer, that he has no attitude of Holier Than Thou, nothing whatever except the sincere desire to be helpful; that there are no fees to pay, no
axes to grind, no people to please, no lectures to be endured --
these are the conditions we have found most effective.

BB
Foreword to Third Edition, p.xxii
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
Alcoholics Anonymous.

BB
The Doctor's Opinion, p.xxix
On the other hand -- and strange as this may seem to those who do not understand
-- once a psychic change has occurred, the very same person who seemed doomed, who had so many problems he despaired of
ever solving them, suddenly finds himself easily able to control his desire for alcohol, the only
effort necessary being that required to follow a few simple rules.

Doctor Bob's Nightmare, p.181

schooled myself to believe that though I once had the same privilege, I had abused it
so frightfully that it was withdrawn.

BB
Preface, p.xii
All changes made over the years in the Big Book (A.A.
members' fond nickname for this volume)
have had the same purpose: to
represent the current membership of Alcoholics Anonymous more accurately, and thereby to reach more alcoholics.

have.

12&12
Step Nine, p.87
For the readiness to take
the full consequences of

12&12
Tradition Nine, p.175
