“BY FAITH AND BY WORKS”
On anvils of experience, the structure of our Society was hammered out. . . . Thus has
it been with A.A. By faith and by works we have been able to build upon the lessons
of an incredible experience. They live today in the Twelve Traditions of Alcoholics
Anonymous, which – God willing – shall sustain us in unity for so long as He may need us.

God has allowed me the right to be wrong in order for our Fellowship to exist as it does
today. If I place God’s will first in my life, it is very likely that A.A. as I know it today will
remain as it is.
