Questions: Contact Central Florida Intergroup AA s Twelve Steps are principles for personal recovery. The Twelve Traditions ensure the unity of the Fellowship. The Twelve Concepts for World Service provide a group of related principles to help ensure that various elements of A.A s service structure remain responsive and responsible to those they serve. Step Eight: Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. Tradition Eight: Alcoholics Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers may employ special workers. Concept Eight: The trustees of the General Service Board act in two primary capacities: (a) With respect to the larger matters of overall policy and finance, they and their primary committee directly manage these affairs. (b) But with respect to our separately incorporated and constantly active services, the relation of the trustees is mainly that of full stock ownership and of custodial oversight which they exercise through their ability to elect all directors of these entities. Practical experience shows that nothing will so much insure immunity from drinking as intensive work with other alcoholics. It works when other activities fail.
