We Can Never Repay AA

"POCO a poco. . .sin nada de alboroto" (Easy Does It. . .without fanfare). Although this is the simplest of our axioms in AA, it is perhaps the most likely to be misinterpreted. Some of us, upon arriving at our first meeting, believe that "Easy Does It" means to stop drinking "little by little," reducing, day by day, the amount of alcohol that we drink. Afterwards we realize our error.
