Al-Anon's
program of recovery is based on the Twelve Steps and
Twelve Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous. The Steps are
the foundation for personal recovery and the Traditions
help groups sustain their unity and fellowship.
• > The
Twelve Steps
Study
of these Steps is essential to progress in the Al-Anon
program. The principles they embody are universal, applicable
to everyone, whatever your personal creed. In Al-Anon,
we strive for an ever-deeper understanding of these Steps,
and pray for the wisdom to apply them to our lives.
• > The
Twelve Traditions
These
guidelines are means of promoting harmony and growth in
Al-Anon groups and in the worldwide fellowship of Al-Anon
as a whole. Our group experience suggests that our unity
depends upon our adherence to these Traditions.
• > The
Twelve Concepts The Twelve Steps and
Twelve Traditions are guides for personal
growth and group unity. The Twelve Concepts are guides
for service. They show how Twelve Step work can be done
on a broad scale and how members of a World Service Office
can relate to each other and to the groups, through a
World Service Conference, to spread Al-Anon's message
worldwide.
