Let's Keep It Simple

AA is growing fast. Meetings are multiplying. The message is spreading beyond anything they imagined. And Bill voices a concern that growth might dilute the heart of the program — that structure, organization, and popularity could eventually replace the spiritual core that saved their lives.

Bob listens, then responds calmly.

Bob reminds Bill that AA was never meant to be protected by control. It was meant to be protected by principles. If AA stayed grounded in humility, service, and reliance on a Higher Power, it would survive mistakes, disagreements, and even misuse.

Bill pushes back — what if people twist it? What if ego takes over? What if the message gets watered down?

Bob’s answer is simple and steady:

Bill begins to see it.

AA doesn’t need perfect leadership. It needs faith, responsibility, and simplicity. If the core stays intact — one alcoholic helping another, guided by spiritual principles — the fellowship will correct itself over time.

The future of AA, Bob suggests, isn’t secured by rules or fear. It’s secured by trust — trust in God, trust in the principles, and trust that alcoholics helping alcoholics will find their way.
