From "Tolerance Keeps Us Sober:"
"Honesty with ourselves and others gets
us sober, but it is tolerance that keeps us
that way.
"Experience shows that few alcoholics
will long stay away from a group just because
they don't like the way it is run. Most
return and adjust themselves to whatever
conditions they must. Some go to a different
group, or form a new one.
"In other words, once an alcoholic fully
realizes that he cannot get well alone, he
will somehow find a way to get well and stay
well in the company of others."
c. 1967, As Bill Sees It, page 312
