Appendix I, The A.A. Tradition, p.561
The "12 Traditions" of Alcoholics Anonymous

Contents (Tradition One), p.9
Tradition One -- "Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon A.A. unity." Without unity, A.A. dies. Individual liberty, yet great unity. Key to paradox: each A.A.'s life depends on obedience to spiritual principles.
The group must survive or the individual
will not. Common welfare comes first. How best to live and work together as groups.
