1.
Men have
cried out to me in
sincere and
despairing appeal: "
Doctor, I cannot
go on
like this! I have
everything
to
live for! I
must stop, but I cannot! You
must help me!"
2.
To
those who have
made progress in
A.A., it
amounts to a
clear recognition of what and who we
really are,
followed by a
sincere attempt to
become what we could be.
3.
That the
man who is
making the
approach has had the
same difficulty, that he
obviously knows what he is
talking about, that his
whole
deportment shouts at the
new prospect that he is a
man with a
real answer, that he has
no attitude of
Holier Than
Thou,
nothing whatever except the
sincere desire to be
helpful; that there are
no fees to
pay,
no
axes to
grind,
no people to
please,
no lectures to be
endured --
these are the
conditions we have
found most
effective.
4.
But our
man is
sure to be
impressed with a
sincere desire to
set right the
wrong.

6.
I
used to
promise my
wife, my
friends, and my
children that I would
drink no more --
promises which
seldom kept me
sober even through the
day,
though I was
very sincere when I
made them.
