Applying the Twelve Traditions in my life

Tradition I: There is one God, and we are all united under Him. I have nothing against anyone and no one has anything against me. When I am unified, I am provided for: common welfare takes care of personal welfare.

Tradition II: God’s will is voiced through His channels. God’s voice will tell me what to do and where to go; to whom to speak and what to say; and what thoughts to think.

Tradition III: I need bring nothing to the table but myself. I need not conform myself to the world, to my expectations of myself, to others’ expectations of me. I need only have the desire to be one with and serve God.

Tradition IV: My business is my business. Others’ business is theirs. If others impact me, I ask God what to do, and He will tell me.

Tradition V: My purpose is only to serve God by being helpful to others.

Tradition VI: I need guard my mind against thoughts of money, power, property, and prestige, because they will divert me from God.

Tradition VII: I need rely only on God, not on myself, not on others, not on things: God will provide if I contribute myself to Him.

Tradition VIII: I do not work: I give, and, as I give, God gives to me.

Tradition IX: I need only take the next right action. No more strategy or organisation is required than that.

Tradition X: The past, the future, others, the world, and myself are none of my business. I need understand only what pertains to my business: doing God’s will.

Tradition XI: I attract what is needed into my life through passively allowing God to work through my actions.

Tradition XII: I need no identity: I need only practise all of these principles in all my affairs.
