“Every river has a wellspring at its source, A.A. is like that too. In the beginning, there was a spring which poured out of a clergyman Dr. Samuel Shoemaker way back in 1934. He began to teach us principles and attitudes that afterward came to full flower in AA's 12 steps for recovery. If ever there was a living water for drunks, this was it.”
