Our Twelve Traditions - Группа авторов

The meeting itself could be so spiritual, nurturing and loving, but the business meeting was governed more by insecurity, fear and hurt feelings.

      Then a member of the group with more than 10 years of sobriety suggested that we begin our business meetings by reading the Second Tradition: “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.”

      The group chairperson followed the Second Tradition reading with a short statement that said, “We are holding this group conscience to discover our Higher Power’s will about moving the meeting. We ask each member who participates in these discussions to do their best to leave their personal opinions out of their comments, to respect the comments of others, and to sincerely try to consider what’s best for our group.” This statement brought calm to our business meetings and returned civility and respect to our group conscience process.

      Ultimately, the group conscience decided that we move the meeting to the local fire station where there was more parking and where our presence was less of a burden to the village. We got used to sitting among the fire trucks and now those walls, too, have been infused with the spirituality of our meditations, prayers and discussions. I learned a valuable personal lesson during this process. The principles of our program can bring me back from my self-centered opinions to a sincere consideration of what is best for AA, and therefore what is best for me.
