    • Quotes
      • Bill Wilson: And then it occurred to me that even though the effort i had made with other alcoholics had apparently brought nothing to them, it had brought a great deal to me. I need another alcoholic to so that i can forget my troubles by talking to him. I need him as much as he needs me.
