AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)
August 12, 2016
Traditions
Unless there is approximate conformity to AA’s Twelve Traditions,
the group, too, can deteriorate and die.
So we of AA do obey spiritual principles, first because we must, and ultimately
because we love the kind of life such obedience brings.
Great suffering and great love are AA’s disciplinarians; we need no others.
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 174
Thought to Ponder . . .
The Twelve Steps tell us how it works; the Twelve Traditions tell us why it works.
AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
T R U S T = Try Relying Upon Steps and Traditions.
Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
