“We made a lot of mistakes. On the basis of our mistakes, Bill W. put together the Twelve Traditions … The early members brought us one Tradition at a time, in the long form — for our group conscience and vote. We discussed each one, took out anything that we didn’t want, made amendments, and then voted. I consider the Twelve Traditions to be the foundation of AA. There were a great many other things that contributed to this foundation, but this was the first really progressive step for our Fellowship.”
