Who Carries the Message?

THE MIDDLE part of our Twelfth Step reads, "we tried to carry this message to alcoholics," and our AA Preamble concludes with "Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety," Naturally, the best way we can help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety is by trying to carry the AA message to them. Unfortunately, many people in our Fellowship believe that the only way they can carry the message is by one-to-one contact with the still-suffering alcoholic.
