Grapevine Daily Quote December 23, 2019

“The first 100 members of this Fellowship, who hammered out the Twelve Steps, knew what they were doing. They could have made it two steps or ten steps or twenty-five steps, but they didn't. I don't think they put anything in they didn't think they needed. They were working the whole program, not because they were saints, but because they were drunks who wanted to get well. I have no reason to suppose I'm any less sick than they were; I have no reason to suppose I need any less of the program than they did.”

Hankins, New York, May 1967, “AA’s Steps Lead to -- Spiritual Awakening,”, Spiritual Awakenings
