AA Thought for the Day

For the first time I saw AA's anonymity
for what it really is.
It isn't just something to save us
from alcoholic shame and stigma;
its deeper purpose is actually to keep those fool egos of ours
from running hog wild after money and public fame
at AA's expense.
It really means personal and group sacrifice
for the benefit of all AA.
Right then I resolved to learn our Twelve Traditions
by heart, just as I had learned the Twelve Steps.
If every AA did the same thing and really soaked up
these principles
we drunks could hang together forever.

Thought to Ponder....

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