Daily reflections - April 29th
GROUP AUTONOMY
Some may think that we have carried the principle of group autonomy to extremes. For example, in its original 'long form', Tradition Four declares: 'Any two or three gathered together for sobriety may call themselves an AA group, provided that as a group they have no other affiliation. '* .. . But this ultra-liberty is not so risky as it looks. AA cOMES OF AGE PP 104-05
As an active alcoholic, I abused every liberty that life afforded. How could AA expect me to respect the 'ultra liberty' bestowed by Tradition Four? Learning respect has become a lifetime job. AA has made me fully accept the necessity of discipline and that, if I do not assert it from within, then I will pay fort. This applies to groups too. Tradition Four points me in a spiritual direction, in spite of my alcoholic inclinations. * This is a misquote; Bill quoted the Third Tradition, but was referring to Tradition Four.
