“A.A.’ s Twelve Steps are a group of principles, spiritual in their nature, which, if practiced as a way of life, can expel the obsession to drink and enable the sufferer to become happily and usefully whole.
A.A.’ s Twelve Traditions apply to the life of the Fellow-ship itself. They outline the means by which A.A. maintains its unity and relates itself to the world about it, the way it lives and grows.”
