The Only Help We Have to Offer
Fifth Tradition - Each group has but one primary purpose--to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.
I drank for a long time and couldn't stop. I tried everything. One day, in the midst of planning to take a trip, I called AA. I told the woman who answered the phone that I was an alcoholic going on a trip and I needed a ride. I was afraid to drive to the bus station because I was too drunk, and I couldn't call my parents because they were mad at me about my drinking. The woman told me politely that AA wasn't a taxi service and to call back when I wanted to stop drinking.
