Tradition one asks us to place the common good ahead of personal desire. Tradition five restricts the aa group to a single purpose: carrying our message to other alcoholics.
Ever wondered about the deeper meaning behind Alcoholics Anonymous' Traditions Eleven and Twelve? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Chris S. and Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, dive into these often misunderstood guidelines from AA's 'The Language of The Heart'. Tradition Eleven focuses on maintaining personal anonymity in public relations, while Tradition Twelve underscores AA's sole purpose: helping other alcoholics.
Chris and Monty tackle common misconceptions, like the idea that AA operates in secrecy or the debate between promotion and attraction. They also explore the spiritual importance of anonymity and the need to prioritize the group's welfare over individual desires. Through engaging discussions, they shed light on how these traditions foster leadership through service. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that challenges stereotypes and offers a fresh perspective on AA's foundational principles.
