Never Too Late

Bill W. said that "Nobody invented Alcoholics Anonymous, it just grew." One wonders whether he or other early members of Alcoholics Anonymous ever imagined what the Fellowship would grow into, that in a comparatively short space of time, some fifty-five years, this program of recovery would find its way into over a hundred countries and our literature would be translated into scores of different languages. Did any of these early AAs realize that they had set in motion what was to become a truly unique Fellowship, where color, creed, religion, politics, status, language and ideology would not matter? The only requirement for membership would be a desire to stop drinking. It would matter not who or what you are, only how you are.
