Over the years, every conceivable deviation
from our Twelve Steps and Traditions has been tried.
That was sure to be,
since we are so largely a band of ego-driven individuals.
Children of chaos,
we have defiantly played with every brand of fire,
only to emerge unharmed and, we think, wiser.
These very deviations created
a vast process of trial and error which,
under the grace of God,
has brought us to where we stand today.

Thought to Ponder....

The First Step identifies the problem.
The remaining eleven Steps are the solution.
The First Tradition identifies the solution.
The remaining eleven Traditions are how we do the First.
