Let us not be discouraged. Let us cleanse our minds of delusion.
Let us rid ourselves willingly of hate, and put love within ourselves and
join together with renewed faith in our Creator...And not forget the
future of our children and those yet to come. David Monongye Hopi Today we in A.A. are together, and we know we are going to stay
together. We are at peace with each other and with the world around us. So
many of our conflicts are resolved that our destiny seems secure. The
problems of yesterday have produced the blessings of
today. Ours is not the usual success story; rather it is the story of how,
under God's grace, an unsuspected strength has arisen out of great
weakness; of how, under threats of disunity and collapse, world-wide unity
and brotherhood have been forged. In the course of this experience we have
evolved a set of traditional principals by which we live and work together
and relate ourselves as a fellowship to the world around us. These
principals are called the Twelve Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous. They
represent the distilled experience of our past, and we rely on them to
carry us in unity through the challenges and dangers which the future may
bring. "AA Comes of Age" pg. 79 Grandfather help us to remember that the group is stronger than the individual. Let us remember the next generation.
