Service rests on the basic premise that the nature of life is
sacred, that life is a holy mystery which has an unknown purpose. When we
serve, we know that we belong to life and to that purpose. Fundamentally,
helping, fixing and service are ways of seeing life. When you help you see
life as weak, when you fix, you see life as broken. When you serve, you
see life as whole. Rachael Naomi Remem Holistic
Healer 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”
