But real sacrifice is, does this fellowship outweigh my personal wants and needs? That's why traditions two through 12 all come back to tradition one. Now, am I just parroting you or is that true, and each individual has to answer that for him or herself?

They delve into why these traditions are crucial not just for group cohesion but for individual members navigating their sobriety journey. You'll hear about the importance of collective welfare and how these traditions serve as a compass for behaviour both within and outside the AA community.
Whether you're new to AA or a long-time member, this episode offers valuable insights that can deepen your understanding of the fellowship's core values. Alvin and Kenny's reflections provide a fresh perspective on how the 12 Traditions function as a backbone for AA, fostering a sense of community and mutual support.
