AA Thought for the Day

July 21, 2003

Traditions

The AA Traditions are neither rules,
regulations, nor laws.
We obey them willingly
because we ought to
and because we want to.
Perhaps the secret of their power lies in the fact
that these life-giving communications
spring out of living experience
and are rooted in love.

Thought to Ponder....

The Twelve Steps tell us how it works;
the Twelve Traditions tell us why it works.
