Carrying the Message . . .

"Now, what about the rest of the Twelfth Step? The wonderful energy it releases and the eager action by which it carries our message to the next suffering alcoholic and which finally translates the Twelve Steps into action upon affairs is the payoff, the magnificent reality, of Alcoholics Anonymous."

Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 109
