In this episode of the RAW Recovery Podcast, host Dion Miller dives into the importance of Tradition Eleven from the 12 x 12 series. Dion brings a refreshing and candid perspective to the often misunderstood principles of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Tradition Eleven emphasises the need for personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and film, ensuring that no individual becomes the face of AA.
This principle helps protect the integrity and unity of the fellowship, preventing any one person from becoming a spokesperson for the entire organisation. Dion highlights how AA's public relations policy relies on attraction rather than promotion, encouraging members to lead by example rather than seeking the spotlight. He shares personal anecdotes and experiences, illustrating the significance of maintaining anonymity and self-restraint.
Dion also touches on common misconceptions about AA, such as the idea that it is a religious programme, and stresses the importance of educating others to dispel these myths. The episode is filled with practical advice and heartfelt reflections, making it a must-listen for anyone involved in recovery or interested in learning more about AA's traditions.
By sharing his own journey and insights, Dion provides valuable guidance on how to navigate the challenges of recovery while staying true to AA's principles. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of Tradition Eleven and its role in fostering a supportive and anonymous community. You'll walk away with a greater appreciation for the sacrifices and self-restraint that underpin AA's success.
