The 12 Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous are the framework for how the groups work.  According to the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, "The '12 Traditions' of Alcoholics Anonymous are, we A.A.'s believe, the best answers to that our experience has yet given to those ever-urgent questions, 'Ho can A.A. best function?' and, 'How can A.A. best stay whole and so survive?'"

As alcoholics, our person ambition and "good intentions," could turn this fellowship away from it's primary purpose, which is for us to stay sober.

Tradition 1 states, "Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon A.A. unity."

John I and Steve C, two men with experience in AA, are here to give their interpretation of Tradition 1 and why it's so important.
