AA is more than a set of principles; it is a society of recovered alcoholics in action….Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have no bother, no politics, no expense, and no responsibility! But this is only a dream about simplicity; it would not be simplicity in fact. Without its essential services, AA would soon become a formless, confused, and irresponsible anarchy.
