MY
ANSWERS TO COME SOON
AL
TRADITION TEN CHECK LIST
Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the
AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy.
1. Do I ever give the impression that there really is an "AA
opinion" on Antabuse? Tranquilizers? Doctors? Psychiatrists?
Churches? Hospitals? Jails? Alcohol?
The Federal or state government?
Legalizing marijuana? Vitamins? Al-Anon? Alateen?
2. Can I honestly share my own personal experience concerning any
of those without giving the impression I am stating the " AA opinion
"?
3. What in AA history gave rise to our Tenth Tradition?
4. Have I had a similar experience in my own AA life?
5. What would AA be without this Tradition? Where would I be?
6. Do I breach this or any of its supporting Traditions in subtle,
perhaps unconscious, ways?
7. How can I manifest the spirit of this Tradition in my personal
life outside AA? Inside AA?
