AA Thought for the Day

We are coming to believe 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 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. . . .
Trial and error produces group experience,
and out of corrected experience comes custom.
When a customary way of doing things is definitely proved to be best,
then that custom forms into AA Tradition.
The Greater Power is then working through a clear group conscience.

Thought to Ponder....

The Steps are there to protect me from myself;
the Traditions are there to protect AA from me.
