"The Twelve Steps are the heart of the Al-Anon program; the Twelve Traditions
are its backbone. Although not based on any specific religious discipline,
together they provide a spiritual foundation for A-Anon/Alateen members
and groups. The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions embody principles that lead
to recovery and personal growth, helping each of us to discover and become
the person we want to be. By applying these principles in our daily lives,
we can improve our feelings about ourselves and our attitudes toward
our situations. The Steps serve the individual member, the Traditions serve
the group as a whole. They help safeguard group harmony and keep the Al-Anon program positive and undiluted."
