We are coming to realize that each group,
as well as each individual, is a special entity,
not quite like any other.
Though AA groups are basically the same,
each group does have its own special atmosphere,
its own peculiar state of development.
We believe that every AA group has a conscience.
It is the collective conscience of its own membership. . .
The group begins to recognize its own defects of character
and, one by one, these are removed or lessened.
As this process continues, the group becomes better able
to receive right direction for its own affairs.

Thought to Ponder....

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