Step 0: Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. Lest We Become Complacent. It is easy to let up on the spiritual program of action and rest on our laurels. We are headed for trouble if we do, for alcohol is a subtle foe. Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 85 When I am in pain, it is easy to stay close to the friends I have found in the program. Relief from that pain is provided in the solutions contained in A.A. s Twelve Steps. But when I am feeling good and things are going well, I can become complacent. To put it simply, I become lazy and turn into the problem instead of the solution. I need to get into action, to take stock; where am I and where am I going? A daily inventory will tell me what I must change to regain spiritual balance. Admitting what I find within myself, to God and to another human being, keeps me honest and humble. Daily Reflections, p. 283 Tradition 0: Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy. Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 562 No A.A. group or member should ever, in such a way as to implicate A.A., express any opinion on outside controversial issues particularly those of politics, alcohol reform, or sectarian religion. The Alcoholics Anonymous groups oppose no one. Concerning such matters they can express no views whatever. Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 565 Each member of Alcoholics Anonymous is but a small part of a GREAT whole. A.A. must continue to live or most of us will surely die. Hence our common welfare comes first but individual welfare follows close Afterwards Please Support your Central Office hotline staff for: 2 shifts daily Mon.-Fri. 0 AM :30 PM or :30 PM 5 PM Contact Central Office for more information (727) Table of Contents Birthday Club 2 Anniversaries 3 Intergroup Info 4 Calendar of Events 5 Contributions 6 Volume 3 Issue 0
