BB
Foreword to Second Edition, p.xviii
Then Jack Alexander wrote a feature article in the Saturday Evening Post and placed such a compelling picture of A.A. before the general public that alcoholics in need of help really deluged us.

Tradition One, p.130
"How," they ask, "can such a crowd of anarchists function at all? How can they possibly place their common welfare first? What in Heaven's name holds them together?"

If that degree of humility

Step Twelve, p.108
In Step Eleven we saw that if a Higher Power had restored us to sanity and had enabled us to
live with some peace of mind in a sorely troubled world, then such a Higher Power was worth knowing better, by as direct contact as possible.

Tradition Eight, p.168
Then we saw that if a hardworking secretary
answered the phone dozens of times a day, listened to twenty wailing wives, arranged hospitalization and got

a person could surely not be

BB
To Wives, p.108
Of course, there is such a thing as incompatibility, but in nearly every instance the alcoholic
only seems to be unloving
and inconsiderate; it is usually because he is warped and sickened that he
says and does these appalling things.

such an important part in bringing on my alcoholism.

BB
Appendix II, Spiritual Experience, p.567
Though it was not our intention to create such an impression, many alcoholics have nevertheless concluded
that in order to recover
they must acquire an immediate and overwhelming "God-consciousness" followed at once by a vast change in feeling and outlook.

12&12
Step One, p.21
It is truly awful to admit that, glass in hand, we have warped our minds into such an obsession for destructive drinking
that only an act of Providence can remove it
from us.

Nearly anyone could submit a good list of such defects as these, and few of us
would seriously think of

Step Twelve, p.109
From great numbers of such experiences, we could predict that the doubter who

The pressure of that fat treasury would surely tempt the board to invent all kinds of schemes to do good with such funds, and so divert A.A. from its primary purpose.
127.
... such future

12&12

Difficult as it was, they officially declined that

And with such good effect that the doctor agreed to a test among his patients and certain other alcoholics from a clinic
which he attends.

12&12
Step Six, p.67
Else why would we consume such great amounts of time wishing for what we have

Aided by such instruction and example

BB
More About Alcoholism, p.30
All of us felt at times that we
