Some people think the Traditions are just for the groups. I have found them to be helpful tools to take outside of the rooms and apply them to my life. Perhaps a few other people should think that way, but then we can't tell anyone.
Sometimes they just don't get it. Sadly they take others with them. I am responsible when anyone anywhere reaches out for help, I want the hand of AA always to be there, and for that, I am responsible. Sadly they aren't looking for help, although I see it as such. They need the program just as much as the newcomer coming into the room. Many years in recovery can build up a surprising amount of ego and complacency EGO - Easing God Out! I have to be ever watchful that I don't slip back into old thinking and behaviors. This is a "WE" program, "We can do, what I can't do alone."
