"Great modesty and humility are needed by every AA for his own permanent recovery. If these virtues are such vital needs to the individual, so must they be to AA as a whole."

"I learned that if I had the capacity to be honest, I would get better."

"I continue to attend AA meetings because anything I know about recovery seems to have a shelf-life of 72 hours."

"When I go to a meeting today, I no longer have the delusion that I am supporting a good cause. I need AA; AA did quite well without me during my ten years of self-exile. I go to AA meetings today to hear and see how God is working. When I share at a meeting, it is not to try and 'help' those poor wretches, it is because I need their help and guidance."

"AA is a caring community ... of people who understand how others can be trapped in deep loneliness and despair."
