12 Traditions

The 12 Traditions are guiding principles for the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and similar organizations. They focus on maintaining group unity, service to others, and safeguarding the anonymity of participants. Key themes include prioritizing the group's needs over individual desires, promoting collective well-being, and ensuring a non-hierarchical structure. The traditions highlight the importance of shared responsibility, respecting diverse perspectives, and fostering an environment of support without judgment, ultimately reinforcing the effectiveness of the recovery process through community.
