Experience has taught us...

"A.A. experience has taught us we cannot live alone with our pressing problems and the character defects which cause or aggravate them...if we have come to know how wrong thinking and action have hurt us and others...We have to talk to somebody about them."

Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 55
