Tradition Eight
Alcoholics Anonymous should remain forever non-professional. We
define professionalism as the occupation of counseling alcoholics for
fees or hire. But we may employ alcoholics where they are going to
perform those services for which we may otherwise have to engage
nonalcoholics. Such special services may be well recompensed.
But our usual A.A. "12th Step" work is never to be paid for.

Thought to Ponder . . .
