Tradition Eleven: Safeguarding Anonymity in AA with Chris S.
“Most of the things that he was talking about in the traditions were meant to protect the fellowship, and you had wackadoos out there, like Clarence Snyder and a bunch of other people who were just off the hook wheels, off promoting things, and they had a specific type of a a that they believed in.”
How crucial is anonymity in the world of Alcoholics Anonymous? In this eye-opening episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, also known as the Monty'man, sits down with Chris S., a highly respected Circuit Speaker, to dive deep into Tradition Eleven. This tradition, often misunderstood, plays a vital role in protecting the fellowship and maintaining the integrity of AA.
Chris brings his extensive knowledge to the table, dissecting each line and page of the AA Conference-approved book, 'The Twelve Steps & Twelve Traditions'. Together, Monty and Chris explore the significance of staying out of the public eye, the hazards of breaking anonymity, and how these principles safeguard the fellowship. Chris also shares his views on the addiction treatment industry and emphasizes the need for a collective effort to transform it.
This episode is packed with valuable insights on the internal battles faced by those in recovery and the importance of personal growth beyond meetings. Chris’s thoughtful commentary will leave you with a deeper understanding of how we can better protect and support those on their journey to sobriety.
