“Sobriety for me was the complete life change that occurred after I fully invested myself in the AA program.”

“Today it is no longer about who cares for me, it is about learning to love others.”

“Change happens in sobriety and, big or small, I try to see where God wants me to fit in each day.”

“I don't know a whole lot about this sobriety thing. But what I do know is that I am deeply grateful. Grateful to Bill W. and Doctor Bob for beginning this thing and laying it all down for me in twelve, easy-to-follow Steps; grateful to the God of my understanding; grateful for my fellows with whom I share this journey; and grateful for my sponsor and my friends.”

“The day we begin working the Steps, the bottom becomes the foundation.”

“Faith is never a necessity for AA membership ... sobriety can be achieved with an easily acceptable minimum of it ... our concepts of a higher power and God as we understand him afford everyone a nearly unlimited choice of spiritual belief and action.” 

“I am easier led by example than ordered to obey. I am grateful to those who have shown me how [Tradition Two] works. Being a trusted servant is humbling. Being an equal part of a spiritual whole is enriching.”
