AA 12 & 12 page 133 Tradition One: “Our common welfare should come first;personal recovery depends upon A.A. unity.” Draw a triangle over the word ‘our’ and write above it ‘spiritual we’. In the second sentence underline ‘the life-giving grace of God: Without unity, the heart of AA would cease to beat, our world arteries would no long carry the life-giving grace of God. Look up: common, welfare, unity, tradition, cherished, quality, should, altruism, aimlessly. For next week: Continued … Write your Step One Surrender. We will share next week off recording, and when all are done, we will begin Step Two. 1. Is this the first time you have read the traditions? a. If it is, how do you feel about studying them? b. Do you think the traditions are important? c. If it isn’t, how do you feel about spending workshop time studying them? d. Where are the traditions in the hierarchy of importance? 2. What do traditions mean to you? Write out a tradition in your own personal life. 3. What does common welfare mean to you? How can you own our common welfare? 4. Write on your own experience in protecting or opposing the common welfare of the group. 5. What does unity mean to you? 6. Are you willing to be bold and speak up when someone is working against unity in your step one fellowship? 7. Do you really cherish this quality of unity within the group? 8. Do you know of a 12-step group that had to close? Did they do practices that were not in the common welfare for the unity of AA? 9. Do you believe that 12-step recovery fellowships carry the life-giving grace of God? 10. Can you imagine that people in their selfishness could actually be so selfish and not care about the common welfare that AA ceased to function?
