If we could muster together to find a cure for cancer... this would be the most important thing that we could possibly think of- because of the amount of suffering that you would end up relieving.
Ever wondered how a group with diverse backgrounds can stay united? In this episode of Take 12 Recovery Radio, Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, teams up with Chris Schroeder to break down Tradition Five from the Twelve Steps & Twelve Traditions.
Tradition Five states, 'Each group has but one primary purpose - to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.' Monty and Chris dive into the heart of this tradition, discussing how it fosters unity while celebrating diversity within Alcoholics Anonymous. Chris Schroeder, a renowned Circuit Speaker in the Twelve Steps community, guides listeners through the pages of the AA Conference-approved book.
He sheds light on the delicate balance between maintaining a unified purpose and embracing the varied experiences of AA members. The conversation touches on some heated debates within AA circles: Should there be strict uniformity, or is there strength in diversity? Monty and Chris don't shy away from these tough questions. They highlight how spirituality plays a crucial role in binding the group together, despite differing viewpoints.
This episode isn't just for those in recovery; it's for anyone curious about how communities can thrive through shared goals and mutual respect. By the end of the episode, you'll have a deeper understanding of Tradition Five and how it can help guide your own recovery journey or support someone you love. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that marries unity with diversity in a way that's both thought-provoking and practical.
