"Our Traditions are set down on paper. But they were written first in our hearts. For each of us knows, instinctively I think, that AA is not ours to do with as we please. We are but caretakers to preserve the spiritual quality of our Fellowship; keep it whole for those who will come after us and have need of what has so generously been given to us."
You'll never find fewer people at an AA meeting than you will at a Traditions meeting, lol.
And yet, some of the most interesting and thought-provoking shares I've heard happened at Traditions meetings.

I find that the people who truly get the traditions have what I want. :)
