Implicit throughout AA's Traditions is the confession
that our fellowship has its sins.
We confess that we have character defects as a society
and that these defects threaten us continually.
Our Traditions are a guide to better ways
of working and living,
and they are also an antidote for our various maladies.
The Twelve Traditions are to group
survival and harmony
what AA's Twelve Steps are to each member's
sobriety and peace of mind.

Thought to Ponder....

The Steps protect me from myself;
the Traditions protect AA from me.
