We pretty much know what works and what doesn't work.
Ever wondered about the nuts and bolts of AA's Twelve Traditions? In this episode of Take 12 Recovery Radio, Monty Dale Meyer, better known as the Monty'man, teams up with Chris S., one of the most sought-after Circuit Speakers in the Twelve Step community. Together, they dive into Tradition Four of The Twelve Steps & Twelve Traditions, a cornerstone text approved by the AA Conference. Chris S.
breaks down each line and page of this influential book, offering a detailed workshop that’s perfect for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of AA principles. A central theme in this episode is humility. Chris S. sheds light on how thinking too highly of oneself can lead to conflicts and unspiritual behavior within AA groups. He underscores the importance of learning from experience and recognizing that each member is just one part of a greater whole.
This perspective helps to maintain unity and prevent divisiveness. The discussion also touches on the service structure within AA groups, highlighting both its benefits and challenges. Chris S. explains how non-affiliation can help maintain group autonomy while also addressing the practical issues of finding affordable meeting spaces. Another intriguing topic is the role of Al-Anon in supporting AA members and the importance of keeping clubhouses separate from group consciences.
Whether you’re new to AA or have been part of the community for years, this episode offers valuable insights into Tradition Four, the character defects that can hinder recovery, and the ongoing journey of learning and humility. Tune in for a thoughtful conversation that’s both educational and inspiring.
