Any group of alcoholics gathered together for sobriety
may call themselves an AA group provided that,
as a group,
they have no other purpose or affiliation.
It is probable that we AA's possess more and greater freedom
than any fellowship in the world today.
As we have already seen, we claim this as no virtue.
We know that we personally have to choose conformity
to AA's Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions
or else face dissolution and death,
both as individuals and as groups.
There is no strength without unity.
