I also travel the earth & find isolated English/foreign groups sometimes sadly unproductive.Tho the group in Playa Del Carmen,Mexico has a Tradition Meeting which is more than I can say for central Corrupticut.
Tradition 11
"Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films."
As I read over tradition 11 in the 12 x12, a few lines stand out to me today. As usual, they are different from the last time I read this tradition. To this day I am still amazed how the 12x12 and the big book seem to change with me over the years. This is further proof to me that I am constantly learning and changing as I grow.
Here are the passages that stand out to me today:
"Therefore, a great responsibility fell upon us to develop the best possible public relations policy for AA." I had to chuckle when reading this! How could an anonymous society have any other policy? If we did it any other way we surely couldn't call ourselves anonymous.
"But we do have to soberly face the fact that being in the public eye is hazardous, especially for us…….we knew we had to exercise self-restraint." Imagine that! Alcoholics exercising self-restraint! As I understand AA's steps and traditions, I believe them to be ego-deflating. I feel that is why being in the public eye is so hazardous to me, it inflates my ego. Now this only pertains to my personal anonymity in regards to being a member of AA. If I am a movie actor or news reporter that doesn't mean I have to quit my job. I should continue my occupation. I just ought not publicly say I am a member of AA. I can talk openly of my alcoholism all I want for whatever reason I personally choose as long as I refrain from stating I am so and so and I am a member of AA.
"Here was something rare in the world-a society which said it wished to publicize its principles and its work, but not its individual members." To this day I think this is incredible. What a display of humility and spirituality!
"This Tradition is a constant and practical reminder that personal ambition has no place in AA. In it, each member becomes an active guardian of our Fellowship." WOW! What a phrase. "Personal ambition has no place in AA," just what I need, another way to measure my humility.
In this day and age it is easy to see who has not followed this tradition. All you have to do is log on to your favorite search engine with a name and AA to see. I don't know how much our fellowship has suffered from members not following trad 11. I think the real suffering comes to those who actually break their own anonymity. I have read about them in the news or watched them on tv when they are doing great. Then something happens. I guess their ego inflates over time from being so important and then I read about them being drunk or dead somewhere.
I know there is more to tradition 11 that the short paragraphs written here. This is just what stands out to me today.
Thanks for reading,
Yes, Bill writes on 180, in the 12&12: Therefore, a great responsibility
fell upon us to develop the best possible public relations
policy for Alcoholics Anonymous. I see no reason to chuckle.
There was a time when our public image was "better than
our actual character". Hardly anyone directed any criticism
toward AA. Is that true today? How attractive are we today, really? How does the general public view Alcoholics Anonymous? Anyone with a computer can find the answer to that question. And it is not pretty. We are viewed today by much of the general public as some kind of strange
religious cult. An A&E video, INSIDE ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS
produced for public television in 1999, used that description. True, even as a strange religious cult, AA works for a few. Bill W. and Dr. Silkworth left us a solution (method) which worked for the masses, until the
AA member's pride and EGO took control and almost ruined it. There is still time to turn the tide. ANONYMOUS
Perhaps the best "public relation" policy would be"no public relations" in today"s world AA is well known & easily found.
Tradition 10
AA has no opinion on outside issues; hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy.
In the 12 x 12 it talks about the Washingtonian movement. How they almost found an answer to alcoholism. Then they publicly took sides on abolition and temperance. If the Washingtonians had stuck to a primary purpose and stayed out of public controversy, I probably would be calling myself a member or that movement rather than AA.
It also talks in the 12x12 how we squabble over different issues in AA. When done in the privacy of our group conscience with everyone having the best for AA in mind, it has little ill effect except maybe some sulking group elders who after over managing a group watched the newer members start a group more to their liking.
The 12 x 12 was first printed in 1953. I don't think our founders could have imagined that our little squabbles over this or that would be in print and posted on a web site that could be accessed by anyone with a cell phone or access to a public library computer. I have a feeling that our "inside" issues may be drawn into public controversy through our "public" discussions of our internal growing pains. I think the complaints posted on the internet would be better served discussed at a group conscience, then taken to district and area meetings, and finally to the general service conference.
AA is self - correcting. The individual members who don't conform to the AA program general eventually drink or die, that's just how it is. The AA groups that don't practice the program of AA and follow the traditions of AA usually die as well. At least this is what I have witnessed over the years.
So I have learned if I don't like something that is going on in AA, to take it to pray about it, inventory it, talk to my sponsor about it, then bring it to our group conscience, then let the democratic process take over.
Thanks for reading
You are entitled to your view, Corey, but I don't agree. At least in my area, getting involved in the general service process means spending many years with others already involved in the general service process. By the time one reaches delegate in my area, all of the rough edges have been worn off and the person is pretty much in the mold of "if it ain't broke don't fix it."
Also, it's troubling to me that the general service process effectively minimizes the voice of the local intergroup associations and committees, which I believe are the true front lines of AA.
And Bill's allocation of delegates gives undo voice to groups in rural areas.
And the fellowship's decision to make AA members a supermajority of General Service Board limits another potential source of helpful feedback from friends of AA.
As a result of the limited views represented, I think it has been extremely difficult for AA to take an honest look at itself. We are good at debating commas in the Big Book, but have never properly addressed more difficult issues, in my view.
Few AA members today know the reason for our inclusion
of Non-alcoholic trustees on our Board of Trustees. The
General Service Board, prior to 1954, was known as the
Alcoholic Foundation, Inc. We read this as a footnote
while studying Tradition Eight. 12 +12 page 168. The
Foundation was formed to receive, hold and manage monetary
contributions from the general public. But the general
public might hesitate to send money to a band of
alcoholics. Bill had some great friends who supported
his efforts, many non-alcoholics. Bill lists them in
Language of the Heart. Bill formed the first group
of trustees with these men. They would be responsible
to handle the money if the alcoholics "got drunk".
I don't have the ratio in front of me, but the
non-alcoholic trustees greatly outnumbered the
alcoholic trustees.
Very little money was sent in to the foundation,
and in 1954 its name was changed to The General Service
Board of Alcoholics Anonymous, Inc. Today the Board
consists of 14 Class B alcoholics, and 7 Class A,
non-alcoholics. I don't know how we became second class.
We needed the non-alcoholic trustees in the beginning.
That need no longer exists. We have proven ourselves.
Alcoholics can remain sober and responsible. In my opinion,
all of our non-alcoholic trustees ought to be replaced,
as their terms expire, by A.A. members. Why would we
need anyone to go out into the public to speak openly
for Alcoholics Anonymous? If we are criticized by the
public, and there is the least bit of truth, we need to
look at it and make adjustments. If it is false, there
is no need to defend ourselves. My Area Delegate
encouraged me to keep sounding the alarm, that maybe
we can turn this ship around. So I continue. ANONYMOUS
You also wrote that the the supermajority of
AAs as members of the General Service Board,
has some kind of limiting effect. Are you saying
that outside non-alcoholics ought to be in
total control of AA finances and to be responsible
for upholding our traditions? After 77 years, haven't
we proven that alcoholics can be dependable and
responsible for our own affairs. Why do we need Non-AA
class A trustees at all? Sure, a non-alcoholic could
appear in public if the need arose. We have no need to
appear in public. If we are criticised, and there is
any truth in the criticism we ought to listen and
make corrections. If the criticism is entirely false,
we best just ignore it. Distance and silence. I believe
the time has come to really come of age and accept
responsibility for our own affairs. Surely we can
find 21 sober alcoholic AA members who can do the
job. Again, where can I find the commas, or the lack
of them? ANONYMOUS
You wrote "We are good at debating commas in the
Big Book." Is this what is called a hyperbole, or was
the use of commas in the Big Book ever debated. I would
appreciate any details from any source.
I agree. It seems as though AA in NY has double standards. in one breath they say how AA has a upside down triangle. But truth be told there are many problems going on in AA in 2012 and AA and every level except at some group levels are dealing with a serious sexual predation problem.
Our Discussion Group on Monday night in Caribou, Maine does indeed attract new members. They come even fron Canada (New Brunswick) towns and city. God will bless our Group.

Really? Some people actually think that the only thing someone is to share about in an Alcohlics Anonymous meeting is alcohol? Wow! Now that is narrow mindedness if I ever saw it. When I go into a meeting and I had a rough night because my dog decided to chew up my recliner, I have the right to share about it. Nowadays we hear all the time, moaning about boyfriends, girlfriends, wives, husbands, mistresses, bosses, co-workers, the cashier that didnt give you your change quick enough or even the line at the DMV. Are you that narrow minded to not realize that any one of these things may be the straw that breaks the camels back and send someone to the bottle? Singleness of purpose? Please tell me what you "think" our singleness of purpose is. Please dont tell me you havent made it past the seventh word of the Twelve Steps. Step One-We admitted we were powerless over alcohol--that our lives had become unmanagable. You do know there is more to the program of Alcoholics Anonymous than just not drinking right? Believe it or not, life became a whole lot harder when I sobered up. As they say, life happens. Now by no means am I saying people should be going into meetings and giving a drug-a-log, nor a drunk-a-log for that matter. Meetings are supposed to be solution based. Feel free to talk about the Steps, Traditions or any A.A. literature you choose. The Big Book says we are to fit ourselves spiritually to be of maximum service to God and our fellows. Step Twelve states "Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps." That means the purpose of the Steps is to obtain a spiritual awakening and then share that awakening with others. If I went into a meeting and all they talked about was the good ol' days, I would surely go get drunk. But I choose to attend and participate in solution based meetings. We all know that meetings that are not solution based tend to fall apart. So for all those that use the Alcoholics Anonymous literature as your only line of arguing, please read it. In the Twelve and Twelve there is a story in the Third Tradition about how a morphine addict joined A.A. and had helped thousands of A.A.'s. Or better yet, stop complaining about things and start participating. I was taught that if I dont like the way a meeting is lead, to join the home group and try to change it.
Participating in 5 workshops on our singleness of purpose this past year in 2 different states gave me the opportunity to read, study, and pray about this matter. Some on our panel were professionals in the field of drug and alcohol treatment ie medical directors of treatment programs etc,. It seem their impression of our fellowship is that we are a"clearinghouse" for addictions. That is mine and many others concern. What message are we, as a fellowship, sending to those outside? We have but one primay purpose: to carry our message of hope the alcohoic who still suffers. The recent General Service Conference addressed this issue by changing some language that defines what are open and closed meetings. My home group is a closed discussion group where alcoholics can come and identify not compair addicitons. Non alcohoics who seek recovery in A.A. wind up, for the most part, exhausting their recovery energy trying to compair their addiction with our alcoholism. We can do most anything we want as individuals outside the rooms of A.A. but as a fellowship we must cleve to our single puppose else we won't have a purpose.Please read Bill's own word about this in the pamphlet "Problems Other Than Alcoholism. Love and Tolerence, Mike
From reading several posts here, (and over the years), I know this is certainly not a new subject but I think we are
mixing several different issues of concern.
1) the first page of the first tradition says we can say what we want along with page 19 of the BB, however--
2) how long we talk can be subject to the meeting format
3) there is a requirment for membership, it is a desire to stop drinking. If you have never had a drink, (doesn't matter how many drugs you did), you cannot be a member of AA.
4) being a member of AA entitles you to go to closed meetings.
5) we do have a singleness of purpose,(doesn't matter what our "opinions" are), this is a fact.
6) The steps can be used on any addiction or problem an individual would like to use them on but in an AA meeting they are applied the way they are written in the BB
7) I personally am sober today. A big factor in this was the fact I went to an AA meeting because I finally had a moment of clarity that "maybe, just maybe, most of my problems are because of my drinking". My first meeting was a real AA meeting of about 25-30 people who first stepped me by telling me a little of each of their stories. They talked about alcholisim, what they drank, how much they drank, what they felt like when they drank, what they did and how they acted when they drank, the problems drinking caused them and how they got sober. If they would have talked about smoking doobies, snorting coke, shooting heroine, dropping acid, eating chocholate cake, gambling, sex,caffein, sugar,overweight issues, so on and so on. I probably would have turned my face to the wall and died.
8) AA can't be all things to all people as noble as that would be. Alcoholics gift is that we can talk to other alcoholics. If someone sits in a meeting and says they had a slip on smoking crack over the weekend I cannot relate but if an alky says I picked up a drink and they describe how they felt, what it smelled like, what it tasted like, how they reacted, I can relate.
9) I never did any drugs but I am 100 lbs overweight, have had sex problems in the past, have had gambling problems and I lost my son to alcoholism and drug use, (he died of a heroine overdose), so I am not on a soapbox because I think I am perfect. I am on a soapbox because I want AA to save someone elses son. I don't know if AA failed my son or not. It certainly has not failed me. I want sobriety. I made the commitment. I work the steps.
10)IF we work the steps, follow the traditions, (not our opinions), and always keep the newcomer in mind AA will be fine. If we follow our sick ideas and opinions and what "We" think is right we will we in a world of s@*+.
Ray C.
I agree with your 10 statements 100%. Sorry to say that is just one recovered alcoholics opinion.
In all the AA liturature I have read and studied over the past 20 years, I recall nothing that would discount anything in the list you have posted. I may be wrong, in fact I often am.
I propose to anyone out there that disagrees with Ray to do some research into this great subject. Please post what you find with references so AA members like myself can investigate what you say and choose for ourselves what we believe.
I have read that "unity is the greatest asset our society has". I think (opinion) that a part of that unity is that we are alcoholics and the other part is that we share a comon solution.
With so many A.A. members of the opinion that alcohol is just another drug and non-alcoholic drug addicts can and should find recovery in A.A. my question is "What about the real alcoholic?" Those who Bill called my cousins have other places to find a way out. This is the last stop for me. When A. A. is no longer A. A. the real alcoholic is doomed. Please speak up for our singleness of purpose,have the courage to make a stand for A. A. please keep Alcoholics Anonymous Alcoholics Anonymous. Thank you , Mike
If you consider yourself dual addicted or triple addicted or quad addicted, here is a functional suggestion & solution. Remember, "If you focus on the problem, it gets bigger but if you focus on the solution, it gets better". You decide which of your addictions is primary. You must decide. No one can decide for you. Then go to that addiction's 12 step program. Treat the other addictions as character defects in that addiction's program. You won't get near as much attention that way but it will probably save your life! Corky S. 7-8-71
Not to beat a dead horse here, but in our community we have over 100 meetings per week that are thriving, and we count as members many who would freely admit they are primarily addicts of various sorts (to both legal and illegal substances), but have found the solution based discussions in AA to be better at keeping them sober (clean). They are not discouraged from attending, or even from identifying themselves as addicts. My substance of choice was always alcohol (and salt water taffy), but I do not reference what or how I drank other than to note that I could not stop without the help I found in AA. Having stopped drinking (I'll work on the taffy in my next life), what I need to hear today is how to deal with the slings and arrows of life without resort to my old means of coping: drink. How is this different from Vicodin addict's daily struggle?
I was given five senses, sight, smell. taste. hearing, touch. I would not expect my ophthalmologist to treat my hearing problem, nor my dentist to prescribe new glasses.
Apples and tomatoes are both fruit,s usually round, usually red, mostly juicy and quite tasty. In other words, they have veery much in common, but no one would think of mixing them together to bake an apple pie.
Perhaps if we work on recovery from alcoholism we can learn how to deal with the slings and arrows of life. "We will intuitively know how to handle problems which used to baffle us."
Those who believe they are above the twelve traditions aren't truly interested in helping other alcoholics as much as they would have us believe.
"we count as members many who would freely admit they are primarily addicts of various sorts (to both legal and illegal substances"
Great that so many addicts are staying clean in your group, but it should not be listed as an Alcoholics Anonymous group.
After 40 years of continuous sobriety, I to am saddened by the actual state of our traditions. They are not followed. That will end AA as we know it. Here is what I have seen. About 1975, treatment centers became popular. They taught "A drug is a drug" to their clients, then sent them to AA. Those clients then taught others in AA that "A Drug is a drug". Now, that myth is believed by the majority of members. I am very active in AA but every meeting, wherever I attend, usually several people talk about drugs. I never used any drugs so it is like going to an AA meeting & listening to someone talk about gambling or child molesting or Alanon. That is not AA. Thanks, Corky-Plano TX
Having 31 years in the program I do not have a problem with people mentioning they used other drugs besides alcohol. If alcohol is their drug of choice, and they used other drugs whether legal or illegal it does not bother me when they speak. I certainly do not want AA to be damaged, but I also feel that AA may have to change a bit with the times. A majority of alcoholics since the 1970's have also used other substances other than alcohol. I know I have worked in service in California where I got sober, and also in Arkansas where I live now. I have met quite a few "addicts" in both states who feel that without AA they would never have got Sober & Clean. The "spin dry factories" that sprang up in the mid 70's serve a purpose, but if the clients do not continue a program of recovery, they have little chance of not going back out. I think some of us need to be more accepting, and listen for the similarities and not the differences. We do not need to become "bleeding deacons"
Bill D. Hot Springs, AR...
I think AA works best when we stick to our own stories. If you honestly never, ever used drugs in connection with your drinking, feel free to share that. But if you *did* use drugs in connection with your alcohol, please be honest about that, too. I think the notion that we need to edit or lie about our drug use "out of respect for AA" is misleading and ultimately damaging to us as individuals and as a fellowship.
Remember too, that AA is not a driving education program, but a lot of people talk about their driving troubles and no one complains about that. We talk about a lot of things that contributed to or were a consequence of our drinking, and drug use happens to be one of those things.
I think some of the issue with drug talk is that perhaps some hold on to a reservation that they can one day control and enjoy their drug use, as long as they don't drink. I think that's another idea that needs to be smashed.
Where I go to meetings we are still in the "total abstinence" school of thought, which includes abstinence from recreational drugs and extreme caution and accountability with respect to prescribed ones. (Things discussed in the AA pamphlet on the subject.)
Sounds good to me. when i read bills story, on pg 7 he talks about drinking gin & sedative. somewhere in more about alcoholism bill writes about morphine or a high powered sedative to tapper off. in Dr bobs nightmare on pg 176 he talks about taking sedative to calm his nerves.
I think if our cofounders can honestly talk about booze and drugs, we can too.
Bill W and Dr. Bob described themselves as alcoholics but never said they were addicted to sedatives, morphine or any other drug.
I have no doubt that sedatives were rampant in the 30's and that AA should never be a barkers sideshow but an affectionate big tent, as the founders tolerance built it back then. Dr. Bob's keep it simple was warm and wise, but maybe also stern like a good father is stern: Stay on the message;What have I learned through my experience that gives me strength and hope.
You don't know the difference between one sentence mentioning drugs in a story and an entire story about drugs?
AA is for Alcoholic's only to carry the message of AA.
There would be no need for discussion if the addicts would show the same respect for our traditions as those alcoholics who are also member of OA, GA, etc.
I've met very few addicts who know the difference between mentioning something in one's story and making that something the focus of one's story. Yes, alcoholics talk about their driving problems in meetings. But they don't go into detail, naming the time, place, model vehicle and arresting officer's name and badge number.
They show absolutely no regard for the alcoholic who didn't use drugs at all, or didn't use enough to become addicted. Several local meetings have folded because they focused on drug addiction rather than on alcoholism.
To quote the pamphlet, "Problems Other Than Alcohol,"
"Sobriety - freedom from alcohol - through the teaching and practice of the Twelve Steps, is the sole purpose of an AA group."
Notice that sobriety is defined as freedom from alcohol, not freedom from what bothers us.
Addicts, not compulsive gambler, not overeaters, only addicts insist that AA change to suit them rather than change themselves. ("Selfishness, self-centeredness! That, we think, is the root of our troubles.")
You don't hear what you need to hear at NA meetings? Get off your backside, round up other addicts who know what they need to hear (AA meetings are overrun with them) and get NA on track as a program for recovery from addiction.
I was careful to relate my experience to the groups with which I am familiar, which tend to go overboard (in my view) with suppressing drug talk.
If your experience is different, let me suggest that the answer is probably *not* to lecture the offenders and tell them to shape up or ship out. And of course, the advice to "get off your backside" goes both ways. The AA member who doesn't like the message in the local groups is free to start a group with different ground rules.
Interestingly, around here, my experience is that even the NA meetings don't have a lot in the way of drug-a-logs. They focus more on the solution, some even more than AA (in my area). So that's brings up another possibility. Rather than tell people what to do, suggest a shift in meeting format to a step or literature meeting that gets away from people focusing on their stories rather than on recovery. Limiting sharing time (to give everyone a chance to share) is another way.
All needs to be processed through a group conscience, of course. And what I find is that a group conscience can often yield insights and possibilities that even I (as smart as I am) haven't thought of. Amazing how it works.
Thank You, Mike. It is nice to hear someone else talk single purpose. Zeke
My sponsor taught me the principles of the program. In turn it is my responsibility to pass it on to the people I sponsor. In a meeting it is our responsibility to make sure that the principles of the program are passed on. We come together to share our experiences with alcoholism, not drugs. We identified as alcoholics. Listen to the old-timers the ones that have been around for a years. The ones who sponsor other people, and take their program seriously. They are the ones that will keep Alcoholics Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous. This program is a we program one alcoholic helping another.
real alcoholic

What happened to patience, tolerance, acceptance, faith, courage and open-mindedness just to name a few. While I share your views on what A.A. is all about-helping another alcoholic, I was taught to practive the spiritual principles in all my affairs excluding nothing, including meetings.
Real Alcoholic that has had a spiritual awakening
Rick R
Love the Traditions of A.A. - No one should make anyone conform or believe in anything. Get a sponsor or you will get drunk? religious all over again or what!! LOL
BUT, if you want what we have & are willing to go to ANY length, then you are ready....... Corky S. 7-8-71
This is exactly the sort of thinking (and today most
AA members think this way, because that is what they have
been taught) that pushes so many alcoholics back out into
the darkness. It is harmful to give anyone in an AA meeting
this type of directive. This self righteous attitude does
not belong in Alcoholics Anonymous. If you want to know
how to carry AA's message, study page 70 in Alcoholics
Anonymous Comes Of Age. Study the exact method Bill W.
used when he approached Dr. Bob. Bill did not say to
Dr. Bob: But if you want what I have & and are willing
to go to ANY length, then you are ready..... Bill said
to Dr. Bob "Man, I need you desperately. Please listen
to my story for 15 minutes. This has helped me in the
past six months, and I am desperate. I am afraid I
am going to drink, and I believe this will help me."
No, I was not present at that first meeting. But I
have read enough of AA history to know it is pretty much
correct. Until we return to that approach, suffering
alcoholics by the millions will continue to suffer.
I don't know about anyone else, but I use the directions of how to talk to newcomers from chapter 7 "working with others".
Bill tells us how to deliver the AA message. He says we should talk like he did in the chapter about alcoholism- Chapter 3 "More About Alcoholism".
He says if they are interested in our program to lend then your copy of the big book. Then let them decide if they are willing.
Bill says something about let them know you are available to help with step 3 and 5 (well he says make their decision and hear their story).
I am talking from memory, so don't expect it to be perfect.
I feel if I try to carry the message as laid out in chapter 7, I am doing the right thing. If they have read our book there will be no surpises!
If a newcomer is not willing to read our book, they are definately not willing to take any of the action suggested in it.
Let's remember the book "Alcoholics Anonymous" is and always will be our basic text for AA. The "Idea" that is mentioned in AA comes of age is found in "The Doctor's Opinion", chapter 3 "More about Alcoholism", and chapter 7 "Working with Others", not to mention Bill's story and most of the stories in the back of the book.
This is "just my opinion", so it usually only matters to me.
Thanks for reading.
"Bill said to Dr. Bob "Man, I need you desperately. Please listen to my story for 15 minutes."
Where did you read (or hear) this? Everything I've read about their first meeting says that Dr. Bob agreed to give Bill fifteen minutes, not the other way around And what I read on page 70 is, "I knew I needed this alcoholic as much as he needed me." Note that it says, "I knew ...," not, "I told him ...".
Manufactured history isn't history, it's falsehood.

You love them? But do you know them? Do you attend a Traditions study group?
Tradition 8
"Alcoholics Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers may employ special workers."
To me this tradition seems cut and dry on the surface. AA should have no professional class, but we can hire janitors, secretaries, and managers for our service centers to provide for our fellowship. It's our 12 step work that can't be for hire. As individuals we can be counselors but we can't use the AA name for our benefit.
I feel this keeps the AA name from being misused by individual members of our fellowship. It has been said many times that AA doesn't have to worry about being destroyed from outside our fellowship. If or when it falls apart, it will come from within our fellowship. I think if we keep working the steps of AA and practicing the 12 traditions and 12 concepts we will be ok.
Thanks for reading.
You obviously have no knowledge of the Traditions as well meaning as you might be. The Sixth concerns outside affiliation.
"Our common welfare should come first. Personal recovery depends upon AA unity"
If you think you are unique, maybe you are and don't belong in AA.
Save the hyphenated labels for marriage. In AA we are just alcoholics, with a singleness of purpose; To carry the message and help others to recover from alcoholism.
So if your anything but just an alcoholic, ie: grateful, recovering, addict or any other hyphen that makes you 'special', save it. We are united as simply alcoholics.
Charlz W.
A few years ago I went to a one hour open discussion
meeting in a distant town, about an hour away. The chairperson asked if anyone had a topic. A hand was raised
and the topic of recovered versus recovering was introduced.
The discussion was lively to say the least. What a waste
of an hour. My name is Joe and I am an alcoholic. ANONYMOUS
COMMON WELFARE? What is that? to be a sponsor to someone else because we screwed up our own lives? Nor ought A.A. membership ever depend upon money or conformity - Why is the outside system bent on taking hostages instead of promoting unity? Is this the selfashness, self centerness that is talked about
Tradition 7: Every AA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.
My favorite part of this tradition as written in the 12x12 is at the end of the 7th tradition. It says," They pointed out that the irresponsible has become responsible." I think that statement is great! I can't think of a statement that sums up AA better.
I think Tradition 7 has also given AA an enormous public relations boost. Every other organization out there is asking for money. We of AA simply say," no thanks. We want to pay our own way". It is truly amazing.
My group recently rented a room in a facility. The manager said it was "free" to use. We said that's fine, but we would like to pay rent. We offered the going rate for our area and they accepted it. We pay to the facilities foundation. They use the money to replace carpet, tables, and chairs. The very things we are using and wearing out.
I have heard many members of AA talk of low self-esteem. This tradition taught me that if we do esteem able acts, we will gain self-esteem. I feel there is no other way.
Thanks for reading.
I have 3 questions rather than a comment. One, can a club (nonprofit corporation) that rents space to AA groups for their meetings sell AA literature to AA members for the groups that hold meetings there? Two, can an AA group give money other than rent, more than the rent, to a club the group rents from? The group I'm in does that from time to time. Even thuogh the dlub does not ask for the money they are more than happy to take it, justifying taking it based on "each group should be autonomous . . ." but they ignore the "except in matters affectng other groups or AA as a whole." I asked the club president about it and he said he couldn't see how the club's accepting our group' money could hurt other groups or AA as a whole because it is such a small amount of money and is given only periodically. Thanks you.
We too,pay for a free room. We insisted & the owner consented to put it into the nurse's fund.
A question presented at our AREA's pre-conference:
Should there be a limit set on income allowed from literature profit. We use this profit to run AA at the
center. My opinion is that we ought to be selling books
and literature at the exact cost of printing, processing
and shipping. That was AA's goal at one time. We have
moved away from that objective, and are moving further
away every year, again my opinion. Our New York operation
ought to be fully funded by individual and group contributions, without outside contributions from any source. Too much of the profit from literature comes
from outside sources. Any amount is too much, again my
opinion. ANONYMOUS.
You ain't heard GSO begging lately? They have become irresponsible in NY.
Yours is not a new comment, it has been bantered about for years, please take the time to read our Traditions and Concepts on self-support hopefully you too will conclude, as I have, that self-support ensures self-determination. New York does not need my money, I need to send it to them it is my right of particpation that is much much more important than anything else. If we do not fund the very services we have grown to expect from GSO, who will do so? Thanks for letting me share, Mike

Bremerton football in wait-and-see mode
Bremerton was still waiting for official word on when it was going to play and whether it would have two-way standout Andrew Shadle available for its first state playoff football game in 19 years.
The Class 2A first-round game against Archbishop Murphy of Everett was tentatively scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday at Silverdale Stadium.
"Right now it's tentative," said Bremerton athletic director Jeff Barton, who was waiting for the Central Kitsap School District to approve the request.
All state playoff games must be held on artificial turf.
As for Shadle, the senior running back/linebacker had to leave Friday's 26-0 win over Renton late in the fourth quarter after picking up his second unsportsmanlike penalty. According to Washington Interscholastic Activities Association rules, that means Shadle has to sit out a game.
Bremerton, as expected, lodged a formal appeal Monday.
"As of right now it's wait and see," Barton said.
Barton's optimistic the WIAA will rule in Shadle's favor.
"The first (penalty), I won't argue," Barton said. "It sounded like he (Shadle) probably mouthed off.
"The second one was pretty cheesy."
After picking up a first down, Shadle popped to his feet and signaled first down. He was penalized — by the same official who threw a flag for the first infraction, said Barton — for excessive celebration.
"A Renton kid did the same thing earlier," Barton said. "It wasn't derogatory. It wasn't meant toward anybody. It was an exciting football game and he just made a nice run after we'd been stopped on two runs. ... If he had said something or done it toward Renton's sideline, I would understand. In this case, it was just a high school kid who was really excited."
In the meantime, Bremerton (9-1) is preparing for Archbishop Murphy (7-2), a perennial powerhouse from south of Everett. The Wildcats, led by Alex Galgano's 227 rushing yards and six touchdowns, punched Squalicum of Bellingham 44-16 in a district play-in game on Friday.
Archbishop Murphy, which beat North Kitsap 42-21 in Week 1, won Class 1A state titles in 2002 and '03, and 2A titles in '05 and '10. The Wildcats reached the semifinals in '04, '08, '09 and '11 and quarterfinals in '06. Bremerton hasn't won a state playoff game since 1990 when the Knights reached the semifinals.
Kingston (6-4), the surprise of the Olympic League, will take on Seamount League champion Sumner (8-2) at Sunset Chev Stadium in Sumner on Friday at 7 p.m. Kingston's coming off a wild 40-37 win over Washington, while Sumner buried North Mason, 38-13, in its district play-in game.

Ludwig Center for Community & Economic Development
CED is a semester-long, in-house clinic offered in both fall and spring semesters, with a substantial number of continuing students who have completed the seminar but remain enrolled in the clinic to handle ongoing or new cases. Clients include non-profit and for-profit corporations, community development financial institutions, advocacy organizations, neighborhood associations, governmental entities, social enterprises and merchants associations. Their missions range from building access to financial services among low-income people to bringing arts institutions and grocery stores to chronically under-resourced communities to breaking down barriers to affordable housing development in high-opportunity communities. All our clients share an interest in promoting economic opportunity and residential mobility among low and moderate-income people.
On behalf of our clients, our students negotiate and draft contracts; provide advice on the tax consequences of entity choices and deal structures; structure and carry out real estate deals; represent borrowers and lenders in financing transactions; draft and advocate for legislation; form for-profit and not-for-profit entities; and resolve land use and environmental issues.

Billable Hours, Blind Item, Reader Polls
Working from home is one of the perks of living in the Internet age. The downside is that work more easily intrudes into the rest of your life. But being chained to your BlackBerry is better than being chained to your office chair.
A partner in the Miami office of an AmLaw 50 firm doesn't like the idea of his associates being out on the beach with their BlackBerrys, though. He wants them in the office. He wants to see their faces, and the only tan he wants to see on them is the kind from the office's fluorescent lights.
This partner whom we are not outing from a firm that we are not naming gave a speech last week that left many of his associates even less excited about spending time at the office than before…
From a tipster:
I heard there was this outrageous litigation lunch in the Miami office of [REDACTED] in which the nominal head of the litigation group there (a real megalomaniac) began chastising everyone to bill more hours and making demands for more face time in the office. This guy has already driven off several mid levels with his antics.
Maybe there's some love beneath this emotional abuse. He does want to spend more time with his associates, after all.
So why does the partner want to see Biglaw bodies in the office?
He flatly stated that he didn't believe any associate who said that they did work from home, and that if they weren't in the office, as far as he was concerned, they weren't really working. And that if they aren't really working, they aren't any use to the firm.
Do you really need to see someone sitting at their computer to know that they're working? Sometimes we're sitting at our computers at the office, but we're just playing Facebook's Lexulous. Emails and memos exchanged seem like a better testament to work being performed.
To be fair to this face-wanting partner, we do know of a few associates for whom working from home means watching True Blood or playing Rock Band.
The good news is that this suggests that people are slacking and that this Miami office has work in need of doing. Alternatively, maybe associates aren't billing because there is no work to be done. You can only reorganize the pleadings so many times.
We throw it to you. Has the working from home movement gone too far? Or has this partner been overly influenced by Dentyne ads?

Hello All, I know this should be easy but I seem to not be able to it. I would like to put '/mu' of the Greek alphabet in a text in my GUI and can not seem to be able to do it. it always prints out: /mu and not the correct mu letter.
Here is the code I use (one full line):
set(handles.EmittanceX,'String',[num2str(emit*10^6,'%2.3f'),char(177), num2str(er_emit*10^6,'%2.3f'),' /mu']);
The char(177) is the '/pm' but again I was not able to make that work. Thanks, Chris

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — On this date in 1984, we got smacked by nearly 10 inches of snow. What a way to finish April. Luckily, our April is much different this year.
We will cool a bit this weekend as a cold front comes swinging through bringing rain and a strong wind.
Our highs will creep to near 60 Saturday and stay in the low 50s Sunday. It will stay windy on Sunday as well, but at least we will dry out again.
Expect a warming trend early next week (by warm I mean near the average high of 65).

Jorge Croner de Vasconcellos (1910 - 1974)
Jorge Croner de Vasconcellos (full name: Jorge Croner de Sant'Anna e Vasconcellos Moniz Bettencourt) – b. Lisbon, 11 April 1910; d. Lisbon, 9 December 1974.
Jorge Croner de Vasconcellos (JCV) had a remarkable musical ancestry. His father, Alexandre Bettencourt (1868-1945), a brilliant violinist, pupil of the French master Léonard, directed the best violin class ever in the Lisbon Conservatory of Music. His father's sister, Mathilde das Nogueiras (1859-1941), a great opera singer, became an associate in Paris of the famous master-singer Pauline Viardot-Garcia. His mother, Laura Croner (1887-1962), a talented violinist and pianist, continued a long musical lineage begun in Portugal at the dawn of the 19th century by the German, Joseph Croner, whose sons, Antonio José Croner (1826-1888) and Raphael Croner (1828-1884) – great-grandfather, and great-granduncle of JCV – were remarkable concert performers, respectively on the flute and the clarinet. Cezaltina Croner (1864-?) and Regina Croner Cascais, daughter and granddaughter of Raphael, both pianists, together with JCV, continued that musical line into our days.
Having started solfège with his mother, JCV then studied piano with Alexandre Rey Colaço, and composition with Luis de Freitas Branco, Francisco de Lacerda, and Eduardo Libório. Simultaneously he followed a course of studies in Philosophy at the Faculdade de Letras of the Lisbon University. In 1934 he won a scholarship from the Portuguese Junta de Educação Nacional to study at the École Normale de Musique in Paris, where he remained through mjd-summer 1937. There he studied harmony, counterpoint and history of music with Nadia Boulanger; composition first with Paul Dukas, then with Roger Ducasse; piano with Mme Giraud-Latarse; and interpretation with Alfred Cortot. He benefited as well from workshops with Igor Stravinsky. In 1938 he was made professor pro tempore of composition at the Conservatorio Nacional de Música (Lisbon) a post he kept until his death.
With the exception of opera, is oeuvre covers practically all genres. Technically it is characterized by the use of dissonance both as a mean of structure and color. He availed himself freely and discretely of all the idioms in use up to the end of World War II: modality, whole tone scale, polytonality, building up chords on intervals other than the 3rd. From the tonal period he kept the idea of tonal center and of the cadence, while broadening the former to the twelve semitones, and expanding the latter to all intervals beyond ascending 4th and descending 5th. Perhaps inspired by the theoretical work of his contemporary, Paul Hindemith, he sought a musical language which could both supersede Wagner's romantic chromaticism and the atonalism of the second Viennese school. However, his deep southern instinct guided him away from intellectually closed systems. His style exhibits varied and compelling rhythms, rich harmonies, and by and large, ignores great rhetorical devices, favoring rather concise and faithful expression. From the standpoint of content, it tends to be defined by an often melancholic ethos, direct expression of emotion, formal clarity and transparency, love of subdued colors and soft contours, the capacity to express passion but restraint in exhibiting force, and often a frank sense of humour.
As teacher he shunned dogmatism, and was an expert guide. His class favored the development of the most diverse personalities – from Constança Capdeville, to Maria de Lourdes Martins, Filipe Pires, Armando Santiago, Filipe de Sousa, and so many others.
Privately he was an excellent voice coach, earning recognition from some master teachers in that area.
He was also an excellent pianist both as soloist and accompanist, though he abandoned his solo career around 1943 due to health problems.

Viola Turner:
And only somebody like Mr. Spaulding probably could get you registered. I wouldn't doubt it. All of it that's true. I imagine that if I walked down there to be registered, I never would have gotten registered. Listen, this, to me, is the priceless part of that. We walked down there. There sits a man with his book, and then his bible. I believe it was a bible; I might be wrong. But any rate: a book. So he hands you that to read. That's no sweat. I read what he said, what is there. So he gives me the privilege. He writes my name down, address, and whatever else goes with it. Next girl comes up. He gives it to her. She reads, and he says to her. "That's not correct." I think that was about the third. I think two of us got by before we questioned him. But any rate, when he questioned her, he tells her the word she's mispronounced. And, would you believe it? You would never know; you'd never recognize that word. So he reads the sentence and you'd never heard such reading in your life. For somebody sitting up there telling you you can't read. Well I, I just stood there looking. Mr. Spaulding didn't make any display of his temper, which he had plenty of, and would, on occasion. But he did say, "Well, when can she come back to register?" And that rascal told him, "When she could read what he gave her to read," or something like that. She did go back and she did get registered later. Mr. Spaulding saw to that. But I would like is for anyone else to have been present to hear that man read, and hear the word that he called her on, hear what he called it. We snickered all the way back to the building, as soon as we got out of his office. Because it tickled us to death. Of course, you know, we were laughing but we were indignant, mad as we could be. The idea! And, of course, the girl was embarrassed in there. But when she got on the outside and when we got through with her, she was just ready to go back and do it again. Now, that's how you got registered here in Durham at that time. Somebody that they knew they couldn't say no to, that had some pull somewhere, took you down personally.

Congressman speaks in Crockett
Houston County Courier
By Lynda Jones
Managing Editor
Congressman Joe Barton (TX-06) drew a standing-room only crowd to his town hall meeting at the Houston County Courthouse Thursday, Aug. 12. During the one-hour meeting, Barton gave a summary of his recent two-day trip to Afghanistan. He said Afghanistan does not yet have a government of the people, that it still has the Taliban and insurgency issues to overcome. Barton explained that part of his oath of office is to "defend our country against all enemies, foreign and domestic". He went on to say that Al-Qaeda and Taliban are "bad people". "We're there to defeat them. We're going to kill them," Barton said. Prior to the town hall meeting, Barton granted an interview to the Houston County Courier. When asked about Congressman Lloyd Doggett's bill that would put strings on federal money tagged for education in Texas, Barton said he is opposed to the bill. "I don't see any purpose in singling Texas out," Barton said. "I respect Lloyd," he continued. However, Barton doesn't support that particular bill. Barton said he is fine with the principles of having an educational bill, but Doggett has issues pertaining to low income health care in the same bill. Congress doesn't pass too many geographically specific laws, Barton said in response to the Courier's question, "What current piece of pending legislation will most greatly impact Houston County?" He then said it is probably the end of federal tax cuts that is coming in December. "People that are working and raising families are going to feel a noticeable impact," Barton said. All the tax brackets will go back up, with the lowest bracket being eliminated. Barton discussed the issue further in the town hall meeting. There, Barton said the death tax will go back up to about 50 percent next year. Barton said Congress still has an option to repeal the Bush tax cuts. "The economy is just starting to recover; we don't need the taxes to go up," Barton said. To rein in government spending, Barton is proposing to cut every program except the earned entitlements by two percent per year. He suggests a 60 percent or more vote in both the House and Senate be required to exempt a program from a cut. During his discussion of the health care bill, Barton said private health care as Americans know it will go away if this bill isn't changed.

Ask Claims it is Still Committed to Search
According to an interview Search Engine Watch's Kevin Newcomb had with Ask spokesperson Nicholas Graham, the search engine is still committed to search and denies allegations that Ask is "dead". In fact, apparently the search community overreacted.
Kevin has more of the interview feedback in his article but these quotes sum up Ask's position nicely:
"The idea that we're going to become a women's site is just plain wrong. We know that a sizable group of our core user base is women, and we know they come to us for a certain kind of search: to get answers, often in areas of reference, health and entertainment," Graham said.
"We want to address the answer-seekers, who put things in a search box in certain ways," Graham said. "We think it's smart to identify who our most active users are. It's smart to identify the kind of searches they're looking for, and focus on building that up. We want to be the first place our core customers come when they're looking for answers."

Fort Pierce Commission considers 'saggy pants' ordinance
FORT PIERCE — City officials interested in an ordinance that would prohibit wearing pants that sag say they want a law that stands up in court.
City Commissioner Reginald Sessions requested discussion on a regulation addressing saggy pants at Monday's commission meeting.
The trend of wearing pants that display a portion of a person's underwear has been a concern among residents, Sessions said.
The city needs an ordinance "because I'm fed up, the courthouse is fed up and the public is fed up with seeing people's backsides," Sessions said.
The issue came up before the commission a couple of years ago, and a review by officials at that time found ordinances to ban the pants in other cities face legal challenges that declare the laws unconstitutional, according to City Attorney Rob Schwerer. The commission did not pursue it further.
However, Schwerer and Police Chief Sean Baldwin said, an ordinance in Opa-Locka might be working. The ordinance restricts the wearing of saggy pants in public buildings and parks. An amendment to the ordinance also includes businesses because they are public places.
Fines imposed in the Opa-Locka ordinance range from $150 to $250 with parents ordered to pay fines for minors, Baldwin said. Community service may also be included in penalties.
The Florida Legislature adopted a law restricting saggy pants in public schools, Baldwin noted. He added the Police Department could act if given a law to work with.
Commissioner Tom Perona said when people can't wear saggy pants in public places or parks, it would make it difficult for them to keep changing their clothes to go somewhere else. An enforceable ordinance would show the community "this is something we're not going to tolerate."
Commissioner Rufus Alexander said the trend of saggy pants is an idea that comes out of prison and is brought into the streets. "I don't think kids should grow up with that mentality," he said.
Commissioners asked the city attorney and staff to come back to them with an enforceable ordinance to consider.

Macros are like riding a bike. Let's say for instance you have to get from point A to B quickly. Then factor in it is at least 20 miles to point B. Your choices for getting to your destination B include either walking or riding a bike. "Which would you choose?" Let's also say, for example, you have tons of data that needs to be entered or changed and you need a quick method to do so. You could either manually key the data expending a lot of time and energy to complete the task or you could build a macro and coast along while letting the macro do the work for you. "Which would you choose?"
"What is a Macro?" Technically, macros are commands and instructions that are grouped together as a single command to accomplish a task automatically. Macros are recorded in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) which is a programming language that Microsoft uses in a lot of their applications including Microsoft Word and Excel. An Excel tid-bit, since 1995 Microsoft has included VBA in every copy shipped, hence, access to the recording and playback of macros. They are most commonly used for speeding up edit, formatting or automating a series of tasks. As an added bonus, since Microsoft Dynamics GP integrates with other Microsoft products such as Excel and Word you can save time by using the applications together.
Create macros for Microsoft Dynamics GP. Included as a blog attachment is a practice scenario. The scenario is just the basic foundation in which to build on. It incorporates using Microsoft Dynamics GP with Excel and Word to create macros. Print out the attachments to best follow along. They take you step by step to build macros in the Fabrikam demo company. It is just like riding a bike but you have to practice in order to learn how to use it.
Some things to note when running macros; like riding a bike even though it is doing the work for you remember you are still on it. So just let it run. If you click your mouse while the macro is running it will stop. Then you will either have to start it over or figure out the last line it ran and start it from there. The screen saver can also stop the macro from running. Either set the screen saver for longer time duration before it activates itself or periodically roll the arrow pointer around the screen. Macros in Dynamics GP unfortunately do not work in smartlist. However, Dynamics GP does have a secret. If you add a special line to the dex.ini file Dynamics GP will show the advanced macro window. See attachment, Add Advanced Macro Window, for instructions. Finally, be creative! Remember macros can be built and used not only in Dynamics GP but many other Microsoft products as well.
