The statement of this tradition is pretty clear. Why do you think we have this tradition?
Ever wondered how Al-Anon keeps its doors open without outside help? In this episode of 'The Recovery Show', Spencer and Ruth break down Tradition 7, which insists that every group should be fully self-supporting and decline outside contributions. They dive into why this principle is so crucial for the health and independence of Al-Anon groups. Along the way, they also touch on how Tradition 6 connects to Tradition 7, emphasizing that personal recovery shouldn't take a backseat to service work.
Financial decisions, the value of sharing personal stories, and the emotional rollercoaster of dealing with loved ones' addiction are all on the table. Plus, they discuss their move to use only music they have permission for, steering clear of copyright issues. Tune in to get a deeper understanding of how self-support keeps Al-Anon strong and independent.
