ok and thankyou for your input Wolfchild.

I agree with you on becoming part of the solution. As a member I have a right and a responsibilty to mention NA has Twelve Tradtions and to read what they are in any meeting.

In cases like this I will not make any comment at all on the groups format...Ima just do it.

I won't interupt the format or do it in the middle of the discussions.

Most meetings ask for anyone to speak up if they have a burning desire to share before they close the meeting. If a new comer doesn't speak up it's my turn to mention the Twelve Traditions. Also if it's during the burning desires portion I won't read the extra paragraphs usually a part of the reading...just the Twelve Traditions themselves.

I am not worried about offending anyone by reading the Twelve Traditions.

I have become a part carrying the NA messege of recovery after meetings on more than one occasion. I also do it afterwards and in a manner of questions rather than aggression.

I have no desire to whack anyone over the head with Traditions, only to read what they are as a part of any NA meeting.

Grateful,
Missy
