“Our Twelve Traditions … represent the sum of our experience as individuals, as groups within AA, and similarly with our fellows and other organizations in the great fellowship of humanity under God throughout the world. They are all suggestions, yet the spirit in which they have been conceived merits their serious, prayerful consideration as the guideposts of AA policy for the individual, the group, and our various committees, local and national.”

AA Co-Founder, Dr. Bob, September 1948, “The Fundamentals in Retrospect”, The Best of the Grapevine, Volume 2
