But it begins with awareness.<br />Thanks.dAAvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378341182741173178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-81461443873472345042010-02-01T08:07:01.383-07:002010-02-01T08:07:01.383-07:00I do my part and share the traditions, live the tr...I do my part and share the traditions, live the traditions. I've been experiencing some local ridiculous AA behaviour of late and all I can do is set a good "tradition-based" example in hopes of inspiring others to do the same.Scott M.

That is why I keep on keeping on.<br /><br />namasteAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128247878961221421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-51314298052552620902010-02-01T04:22:58.688-07:002010-02-01T04:22:58.688-07:00Traditions are being challenged everywhere.

My sponsor also emphasizes that the 12 concepts are set up so we can adapt the organization over time to new challenges. Right now for example, the Grapevine is facing huge financial challenges and may need to change.ollyollyincomefreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120540731558096604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-69072779990287930512010-01-31T21:50:16.490-07:002010-01-31T21:50:16.490-07:00Agreed - it's our turn to take care of it for ...Agreed - it's our turn to take care of it for the future.
