Tradition Twelve: Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.

  • Does our group give personal distinction to any MA member either among fellow addicts, or the general public, that puts their opinions above the conscience of the group or MA as a whole? 
  • Does our group seek to place “principles before personalities” particularly during business meetings or meetings such as this one which could become heated without this guiding principle? Or does the loudest voice dominate meetings and discussions particularly business group conscience meetings?
  • Why does it mean to you when Tradition 12 states that anonymity is the “spiritual foundation” of all MA traditions? What about it is “spiritual” and why is it considered the “spiritual foundation” of all the other Traditions?
