2008 Roundup Theme: Keep It Simple

In his last brief public address, at the first AA International Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, Bob mentions exactly what he means by ‘keeping it simple’: "There are two or three things that flashed into my mind on which it would be fitting to lay a little emphasis. One is the simplicity of our program. Let's not louse it all up with Freudian complexes and things that are interesting to the scientific mind, but have very little to do with our actual AA work. Our Twelve Steps, when simmered down to the last, resolve themselves into the words 'love' and 'service.' We understand what love is, and we understand what service is. So let's bear those two things in mind."
