“For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority – a loving God as He may express Himself in our Group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants, they do not govern.” From the start of the tradition until page 133 third paragraph: ‘…Being on the human side, the founder and his friends may bask a little in glory.’ Soul work Look up: vague, nebulous naive, speculative, ethical. Q1. Read some AA history by Googling it. 2nd paragraph page 133 circle: ‘freely given’. Q2. What is your attitude on sharing (breaking your anonymity) wherever you go? Do you feel you have a spiritual and ethical obligation to help others – whether at work, family, church, extended family, in-laws, etc.? Q3. Are you prejudiced towards those who have the same problems that you have recovered from while they have not? write this down: They’re just like me. In the paragraph beginning: ‘John Doe, a good AA…’, circle: ‘He needs other alcoholics as much as they need him.’ Q4a. Draw the recovery triangle and review what it means to you. b) Beside it draw the circle and write what that means to you. c) Put them together and write on how the symbol of the triangle in the circle is truly your life-giving foundation in recovery. Suggestion: To keep in mind that God is the one who keeps us all going, put a copy of the symbol and your explanation in both your Big Book and 12 x 12. underline: ‘hierarchy of service – self-appointed, of course…’ Q5. ‘Being on the human side, the founder and his friends may bask a little in glory.’
