"Tradition 3" at the heart of all 12 Step Programs. [View all]
I have been thinking about this one for a long time....The only requirement for membership is "a desire to stop drinking"..and "a desire to stop eating compulsively" so,?
. There are no dues or fees, and a person is accepted...period....You can choose your own higher power, or not choose. Work the steps quickly, slowly or very slowly. That is for you/me and the people I work with. Some people take years to "work" the program in a way that works ..That is ok,..why? because that is tradition 3
People we work with often "demand" we do it a certain way..We try, if we can't, then, try again. If we fail, we try again, that is ok, perhaps we change the people we work with..In my opinion, the best meetings accept all who desire to stop the addiction....period.... oh, if it were easy, it would be easy. It is not easy...
