Alcoholics Anonymous began with sponsorship. When Bill W., only a few months sober, was stricken with a powerful urge to drink, this thought came to him: “You need another alcoholic to talk to. You need another alcoholic just as much as he needs you!”

Responsibility Declaration
"I am responsible. When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of A.A. always to be there. And for that: I am responsible."
Declaration of Unity
This we owe to A.A.’s future:To place our common welfare first; to keep our fellowship united. For on A.A. unity depend our lives; and the lives of those to come.
