Life chooses that for us, right? So we got the long form of Tradition Five, Each Alcoholics Anonymous group ought to be a spiritual entity having but one primary purpose, that's in italics, that of carrying its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.

I didn't really know that surprisingly when I got here, but it is a spiritual program.

I didn't know that when I came into Alcoholics Anonymous, right? I thought it was a little bit different.
