"Carry this message to other alcoholics! You can help when no one else can. You can secure their confidence when others fail. Remember they are very ill...Life will take on a new meaning. To watch people recover, to see them help others, to watch loneliness vanish, to see a fellowship grow up about you, to have a host of friends - this is an experience you must not miss...because of your own drinking experience you can be uniquely useful to other alcoholics. So cooperate; never criticize. To be helpful is our only aim."
Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 89
