its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.

Question 18

those they serve.

Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside
issues; hence the A.A. name ought never be drawn into
public controversy.

Question 24

Our public relations policy is based on attraction
rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal
anonymity at the level of press, radio and films.
