As Bill Sees It
Our Companions, p. 45

Today, the vast majority of us welcome any new light
that can be
thrown on the alcoholic's mysterious and baffling
malady. We
welcome new and valuable knowledge whether it is issues
from a test
tube, from a psychiatrist's couch, or from revealing
social studies. We
are glad of any kind of education that accurately
informs the public
and changes its age-old attitude toward the drunk.

More and more we regard all who labor in the total
field of alcoholism
as our companions on a march from darkness into light.
We see that
we can accomplish together what we could never
accomplish in
separation and in rivalry.

Grapevine, March 1958
