- Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends on AA unity.
- For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority – a loving God as he may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.
- The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking.
- Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or AA as a whole.
- Each group has but one primary purpose – to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.
- An AA group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the AA name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
- Every AA group ought to be fully self-supporting declining outside contributions.
- Alcoholics Anonymous should remain forever non-professional, but our service centres may employ special workers.
- AA, as such, ought never be organised, but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.
- AA has no opinion on outside issues; hence, the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy.
- Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and film.
- Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.
