AA-fundir eru ekki skemmtilegir. Eiginlega eru žeir žvert į móti drepleišinlegir og vart mį į milli sjį hvort er įtakanlegra aš hlusta į pontugjammiš eša standa žar sjįlfur og rekja raunir sķnar fram aš žvķ stórkostlega augnabliki žegar mašur fann sinn ęšri mįtt og hefur lifaš ķ andlegum og veraldlegum vellystingum upp frį žvķ.
AA-fundurinn sem Donald Lydecker, vondi kallinn ķ Dark Angel, mętti į er meš žeim hressari enda drullaši hann af hroka hins sterka yfir prógrammiš meš snilldartilžrifum:
I'm new in town. I have some business here and I've been coming to this meeting for the last couple weeks. I've listened to a few of you stand up and tell your stories and tonight, I'd like to take my turn. Drinking damn near destroyed my life. I woke up one morning, took a look around
I was lying on the floor. I decided never to touch another drop. I've been sober ever since. I hear a lot of you talk about taking things one day at a time. As far as I'm concerned, that's a cop-out. You make a decision and you take charge of your life. You don't need a higher power to help you. You don't need a sponsor. What you need is strength of mind, willpower and character. Alcoholism is not a disease. It's a failing. You've turned it into a church. You worship at the altar of self-pity. I come to these rooms for one reason. To remember what I don't want to become
Helpless, impotent and weak. Thank you. As you were.
