Quote April 5, 2017

“My basic flaw had always been dependence -- almost absolute dependence -- on people or circumstances to supply me with prestige, security, and the like. Failing to get these things according to my perfectionist dreams and specifications, I had fought for them. And when defeat came, so did my depression.”

AA Co-Founder, Bill W., January 1958 “The Next Frontier: Emotional Sobriety,” The Language of the Heart

Grapevine Daily Quote December 2, 2019

“What unites all members on the program is a common sincerity. We are all seeking the truth; we are trying for honesty. In practice, any useful conception of God must relate to this idea of truth. Some people would say that God is truth -- no more and no less.”
