"The moment we saw that we had an answer for alcoholism, it was
reasonable (or so it seemed at the time) for us to feel that we might
have the answer to a lot of other things. The AA groups, many thought,
could go into business, might finance any enterprise whatever in the
total field of alcoholism. In fact, we felt duty-bound to throw the
whole weight of the AA name behind any meritorious cause." (Twelve and
Twelve, Tradition Six, pg. 155)
