Our One And Only Purpose In AA (The Daily Trudge)

Our One And Only Purpose In AA AA has many benefits. We build friendships. We find fellowship. We learn principles. We discover purpose. We heal relationships. But according to AA's traditions and the Big Book, none of those things are our primary purpose. Our one and only purpose is simple: to stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety. That's it. Today on The Daily Trudge, we're talking about what happens when we keep the main thing the main thing. Why was AA built around a single purpose? What happens when groups drift away from that purpose? And how does focusing on helping the next suffering alcoholic protect our own sobriety? The founders discovered something powerful: one alcoholic talking with another could accomplish what no lecture, punishment, or willpower ever could. Recovery is passed from person to person, one conversation at a time. Because when AA remembers its primary purpose, the newcomer has the best chance of finding the solution that was freely given to us. "Practical experience shows that nothing will so much insure immunity from drinking as intensive work with other alcoholics." #TheDailyTrudge #AA #PrimaryPurpose #Recovery #Sobriety #AlcoholicsAnonymous #Service #TheDailyTrudge #OneAlcoholicHelpingAnother
