Thoughts For The Day~*~ Responsibility "Our spiritual way of life is safe for future generations if, as a Society, we resist the temptation to receive money from the outside world. But this leaves us with a responsibility - one that every member ought to understand. We cannot skimp when the treasurer of our group passes the hat. Our groups, our areas, and AA as a whole will not function unless our services are sufficient and their bills are paid. When we meet and defeat the temptation to take large gifts, we are only being prudent. But when we are generous with the hat we give a token that we are grateful for our blessings and evidence that we are eager to share what we have found with all those who still suffer."

From this phrase it was only a step to the idea of 'Alcoholics Anonymous.' This was its actual derivation." 2001 AAWS, Inc.; Alcoholics Anonymous Comes of Age, pg. 165*~*~*~*~*^ Grapevine Quote ^*~*~*~*~* "The little things that happen, the spoken word, the kind smile, the nod of encouragement -- the fellowship that goes with the program
