In this episode of Studio RC, Pastor Max Ingram takes a deep dive into the 6th Tradition of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). This tradition advises that an AA group should never endorse, finance, or lend the AA name to any related facility or outside enterprise to avoid issues with money, property, and prestige that could divert from their primary purpose.
Pastor Max breaks down this principle, explaining why it's crucial for AA groups to remain independent and focused solely on helping those struggling with alcoholism. Through a blend of humour and wisdom, he illustrates how the 6th Tradition helps keep AA’s name pristine and free from controversy. He also touches on how these principles apply within the Recovery Church context, emphasising cooperation without affiliation.

Tune in to understand how these traditions can guide not just groups but individuals as well. You'll leave with a better grasp of why staying true to your core mission is essential in the path to recovery.
