"At that time [1938] the
group in New York was composed of about twelve men who were working on the
principle of every drunk for himself; we had no real formula and no name. We
would follow one man's ideas for a while, decide he was wrong, and switch to
another's method. But we were staying sober as long as we kept and talked
together. There was one meeting a week at Bill [W]'s home in Brooklyn, and we
all took turns there spouting off about how we had changed our lives overnight,
how many drunks we had saved and straightened out, and last but not least, how
God had touched each of us personally on the shoulder. Boy, what a circle of
confused idealists! Yet we all had one really sincere purpose in our hearts, and
that was not to drink."
