“You also have some people who are not alcoholics, but addicts of other kinds. A great many AA’s have taken pity of these people, and have actually tried to make them full fledged AA’s. Of course, their identification with alcoholics is no good at all, and the groups themselves easily stop this practice in the normal course of AA affairs.”
“Thoughtful AAs, however, encourage these sponsors to bring addicts to open meetings, just as they would other interested people. In the end, these addicts usually gravitate to other forms of therapy. They are not received on the platform in open meetings unless they have an alcohol problem, and closed meetings, of course, are denied them. We know that we cannot do everything for everybody with an addiction problem.”
Bill Wilson, cofounder of Alcoholics Anonymous from the AA Grapevine March 1971. Reprinted with permission of the AA Grapevine Inc.
