The AA Responsibility Statement

In this short recording, AA cofounder Bill Wilson shares about “Our Responsibility to AA’s Future” and leads a group of 100 people on stage in reciting The AA Responsibility Statement.” This clip is from Bill’s talk at the 1965 AA International Convention in Toronto.

Alcoholics Anonymous Responsibility Statement:

I am responsible… when anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of AA always to be there, and for that I am responsible.

The Recovery Speakers team is able to share and continue this work solely through donations from our users and supporters. Please consider a donation.
