"When asked, 'Are there any
conditions?' we joyfully reply, 'No, not a one.' When skeptically he
comes back saying, 'But certainly there must be things that I have to do
and believe,' we quickly answer, 'In Alcoholics Anonymous there are no
musts.' Cynically, perhaps, he then inquires,
'What is all this going to cost me?' We are able to laugh and say, 'Nothing at all, there are no fees and dues.' Thus, in a brief hour, is our friend disarmed of his suspicion and rebellion . . . Alcoholics Anonymous is saying, 'We have something precious to give, if only you will receive.' That is all."
