TWELVE TRADITIONS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tradition One<\/strong>
\u201cOur common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon A.A. unity.\u201d
Twelve Traditions – Tradition One – (pp. 129-131) (aa.org)<\/a><\/p>\n

Tradition Two<\/strong>
\u201cFor our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority- A loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.\u201d
Twelve Traditions – Tradition Two – (pp. 132-138) (aa.org)<\/a><\/p>\n

Tradition Three<\/strong>
\u201cThe only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking.\u201d
Twelve Traditions – Tradition Three – (pp. 139-145) (aa.org)<\/a><\/p>\n

Tradition Four<\/strong>
\u201cEach group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or A.A. as a whole.\u201d
Twelve Traditions – Tradition Four – (pp. 146-150) (aa.org)<\/a><\/p>\n

Tradition Five<\/strong>
\u201cEach group has but one primary purpose- to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.\u201d
Twelve Traditions – Tradition Five – (pp. 151-155) (aa.org)<\/a><\/p>\n

Tradition Six<\/strong>
\u201cAn A.A. group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the A.A. name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.\u201d
Twelve Traditions – Tradition Six – (pp. 156-160) (aa.org)<\/a><\/p>\n

Tradition Seven<\/strong>
\u201cEvery A.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.\u201d
Twelve Traditions – Tradition Seven – (pp. 161-167) (aa.org)<\/a><\/p>\n

Tradition Eight<\/strong>
\u201cAlcoholics Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers may employ special workers.\u201d
Twelve Traditions – Tradition Eight – (pp. 168-173) (aa.org)<\/a><\/p>\n

Tradition Night<\/strong>
\u201cA.A., as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service bonds or committees directly responsible to those they serve.\u201d
Twelve Traditions – Tradition Nine – (pp. 174-178) (aa.org)<\/a><\/p>\n

Tradition Ten<\/strong>
\u201cAlcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the A.A. name ought never be drawn into public controversy.\u201d
Twelve Traditions – Tradition Ten – (pp. 179-182) (aa.org)<\/a><\/p>\n

Tradition Eleven<\/strong>
\u201cOur public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.\u201d
Twelve Traditions – Tradition Eleven – (pp. 183-186) (aa.org)<\/a><\/p>\n

Tradition Twelve<\/strong>
\u201cAnonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, even reminding us to place principles before personalities.\u201d
