Never Organized, Huh?

In AA, who really runs the show? You do. We do. A member helps explain

Our Traditions are to group survival and harmony what the Twelve Steps are to each member’s sobriety and peace of mind. In our “Twelve and Twelve” it tells us that the Traditions symbolize the sacrificial character of our life together and they are the greatest force for unity that we know. They apply to the life of the Fellowship itself. They outline how AA maintains its unity and relates itself to the world about it, the way it lives and grows.
