JANUARY 31 

OUR COMMON WELFARE COMES FIRST 

The unity of Alcoholics Anonymous is the most cherished quality our Society has . . . We stay whole, or A. A. dies 

TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 129 

Our Traditions are key elements in the ego deflation process necessary to achieve and maintain sobriety in 

Alcoholics Anonymous. 

Me- on some many levels I have to get out of my own way. My sponsor reminded me that the key to freedom was the bondage of self. When I need credit for things or admiration from AA. That's the danger. That's an ego trip. Putting the group before me, is another exercise in remembering I am not God. The group is a power greater than me. The Rockstar is not me. My prayer today: Rockstar help me mindful and useful to my home group this morning.
