*~*~*~*~*^Daily Reflections^*~*~*~*~* GROUP AUTONOMY Some may think that we have carried the principle of group autonomy to extremes. For example, in its original "long form, " Tradition Four declares: "Any two or three gathered together for sobriety may call themselves an A.A. group, provided that as a group they have no other affiliation. "* . . . But this ultra liberty is not so risky as it looks. A.A. COMES OF AGE, pp. 104-05 As an active alcoholic, I abused every liberty that life afforded. How could A.A. expect me to respect the "ultra-liberty" bestowed by Tradition Four? Learning respect has become a lifetime job. A.A. has made me fully accept the necessity of discipline and that, if I do not assert it from within, then I will pay for it. This applies to groups too. Tradition Four points me in a spiritual direction, in spite of my alcoholic inclinations. Copyright 1990 ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS WORLD SERVICES, INC.
