The Importance of Group Membership

ONE thing that has attracted me to AA is that there are no "musts." Everything is done on a suggested basis. If there is anything I must do it is up to me to make the decision--no one else will tell me I must do anything. I have found, however, since working at this new way of life that I am continually changing my attitudes and my thinking. I believe I must do certain things to maintain contented sobriety. One of these is that I must belong to an AA group of my choice and take an active part in its discussions and functions.
