The importance of the A.A. group

"Most of us cannot recover unless there is a group. As Bill said, 'Realization dawns on each member that he is but a small part of a great whole...He learns that the clamor of desires and ambitions within him must be silenced whenever these could damage the group. It becomes plain that the group must survive or the individual will not.'"

The A.A. Group...where it all begins, p. 11

Final Thought:

"For some of us, it is easier to slow ourselves down if we have the help of another person. We may be unable to generate our own peace, but sometimes we can sit quietly and listen to a friend who has achieved a measure of serenity. Full attention to someone else helps restore our equilibrium and give us a new perspective on our own lives, so that we may see that they don't have to be a rat race."
