Northeastern Maryland Intergroup of AA

Live and Let Live

"Never since it began has Alcoholics Anonymous been divided by a major controversial issue. Nor has our Fellowship ever publicly taken sides on any question in an embattled world. This, however, has been no earned virtue. It could almost be said that we were born with it . . . 'So long as we don't argue these matters privately, it's a cinch we never shall publicly.'"
