It stood to reason that if alcoholism could be licked, so could any problem it occurred to us.
Have you ever wondered why Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) emphasizes certain traditions? In this insightful episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, known as the Monty'man, teams up with Chris S., a well-known circuit speaker, to dissect Tradition Six from AA's Twelve Steps & Twelve Traditions. Chris S. takes listeners on a detailed journey through the pages of this influential book, shedding light on the essence and importance of Tradition Six. Chris S.
and Monty delve into the history behind Bill Wilson's creation of these traditions, especially his efforts to prevent AA from falling into the same traps as earlier organizations like the Washingtonians. They discuss the principle of personal anonymity and why AA avoids endorsements to maintain its integrity. The conversation also touches on some controversies around AA's public relations policies and the role of financial stability in recovery.
One fascinating segment explores how faith-based recovery programs have successfully reached out to marginalized groups, including those in prison. Chris S. provides a nuanced view of how religion and spirituality can play pivotal roles in recovery without turning AA into a religious organization. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of AA's traditions or seeking practical insights into maintaining sobriety. With a blend of historical context and personal anecdotes, Monty and Chris S.
offer a compelling look at what makes Tradition Six so vital to the AA community.
