Commonly referred to as the “Twelve and Twelve,” <i>Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions</i> comprises 24 foundational essays by Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill W. that have helped millions of A.A. members worldwide both to get and stay sober “one day at a time,” and to ensure that their «Fellowship» – Alcoholics Anonymous as a whole – will be there for them tomorrow.<br> First published by Grapevine in 1952, the 12 essays in the book’s opening expand upon each of A.A.’s landmark Twelve Steps – its program of recovery from alcoholism – with practical applications, helpful examples and personal insights, many of which enlarge upon themes raised in the Big Book of <i>Alcoholics Anonymous.</i> The second 12 illuminate the Twelve Traditions and explain how spiritual principles such as anonymity, humility and self-support serve to safeguard the unity of Alcoholics Anonymous and shield it from internal and external challenges. <br> Whether read aloud at meetings, referred to while working with a sponsor, or turned to in a quiet moment, <i>The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions</i> can serve as a vital resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of the Steps and Traditions. <br>
<i>Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions</i> has been approved by the General Service Conference.
