More Than Words
The words of A.A.'s Twelve Steps are known to all of us but, how many of us are confidant of their precise meaning?
More Than Words was taken from a 1991 Big Book study hand-out. The original author's unknown to us but, the idea was just too good not to pass on.

Traditions Definitions
A.A.'s Twelve Traditions were first written in early 1946 as tentative guides to help us hang together and function. The short form used today was condensed with the help of Chicago group founder Earl T. in 1949 and unanimously adopted by standing vote at the first International Convention in Cleveland, OH in July of 1950.
Traditions Definitions explores the meaning of the text used for the short form.

“Voices From the Past”
More Good Oldtimers
Continuing with our “Voices of the Past” series are men and women from the northeast Ohio area who found their way to Alcoholics Anonymous from the mid 1940's through the early 1970's. Many received the message of love and service from the first one hundred. All of them passed it on with gratitude to those who followed. Their stories are links in the chain that stretch from you and I back to a gatehouse library where one drunk shared his story with another and a new light entered the dark world of the alcoholic.
