A Quick Schpeal I Plan On Memorizing When Talking About The Traditions…
I was in this meeting of this group that I have been going to for a while. I like the group because it is strong in the Big Book message, but I have been trying to figure out what's going on over there. What is going on over there is that they have about 30 … Continue reading A Quick Schpeal I Plan On Memorizing When Talking About The Traditions…
The Fellowship…Where Is It?
Has anyone else noticed a radical change in the fellowship in a very short period of time? I have. I used to meet with AA members daily - and not just at traditional meetings.

The 12 Concepts: Concept 12
Read my page about why the service structure is guaranteed to fail. Why? As above, so below. One rotten apple can ruin the whole barrel - and that is TRUE. The same with any group.

The 12 Concepts: Concept 4
As I have said before in the other Concept posts, I know that the concepts are all theoretical because they require that we delegate our authority to "delegates" - which is a violation of Spiritual Law - and therefore is guaranteed to fail, but for those of you who are interested in learning the Concepts … Continue reading The 12 Concepts: Concept 4
The 12 Concepts: Concept 3
You can refer to my page about why the service structure is guaranteed to fail because it is a violation of Natural Law to believe that a DCM can re-present a District or that a Delegate can re-present an Area. The GSR actually presents themself - as a member of their group, but the GSR … Continue reading The 12 Concepts: Concept 3
A New Structure of Service
It is with great sadness that I have decided to let go of being a part of AA General Service. It used to be a great place to try out the Traditions and the Concepts, but no more. Now it is simply a who's who and a bunch of politics while those with more stamina … Continue reading A New Structure of Service
Using Spiritual Principles and the Trivium To Solve Problems
** This post is from a different blog, reposted here. I translated the Traditions for non-alcoholics. It may seem like a 10th Tradition violation, however these are ancient principles of Natural Law which lie behind our 12 Steps, 12 Traditions, 12 Concepts, and other principles which are in our basic text.
