We cannot declare A.A. such a closed corporation that we keep
our knowledge and experience top secret.

BB 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.

If that degree of humility could enable us to

hope of the same result respecting any other problem we could possibly

In Step Eleven we saw that if a Higher Power had restored us to sanity and had enabled us to

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

BB p.108,
To Wives
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.

BB p.567(569),
Appendix II, Spiritual Experience
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 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.

From great numbers of

All of us felt at times that
we were regaining control, but such intervals -- usually brief -- were inevitably
followed by still less control, which led in time to pitiful and incomprehensible demoralization.
