The sole authority in AA is a loving God. These are the growing group's hierarchy of service, self-appointed, of course, because there is no other way.
Ever wondered how Alcoholics Anonymous maintains its unity and purpose? This episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio' sheds light on the Second Tradition of AA with the help of the esteemed Circuit Speaker, Chris Schroeder. Hosted by Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, this episode dives deep into the principle that states, 'For our group purpose, there is but one ultimate authority - a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience.
Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern'. Chris breaks down each line of this tradition, explaining how it underscores the importance of group conscience and the role of trusted servants in AA. He highlights the potential pitfalls of professionalizing AA's spiritual message and discusses the significance of Bill Wilson's vow of poverty. The conversation also touches on the delicate balance between money, property, and prestige within the organization.
Whether you're a long-time member or new to the Twelve Steps, this episode offers valuable insights into how AA functions and maintains its integrity. Tune in for an engaging discussion that not only clarifies the Second Tradition but also enriches your understanding of the broader principles that guide AA.
