The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions

The Twelve Steps are a set of guiding principles for individuals recovering from addiction, emphasizing personal reflection, accountability, and connection to a higher power. They help participants acknowledge their struggles, seek support, and make amends. The Twelve Traditions focus on the organization and unity of support groups, promoting principles such as anonymity, self-governance, and helping others. Together, they establish a framework for recovery that fosters community, personal growth, and a commitment to shared values, ensuring the group's purpose remains focused on helping individuals achieve lasting sobriety.
