“Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern. Our Higher Power speaks through our group conscience.”
In Tradition 2, we’re reminded that no one sits on a throne in our fellowship. Leadership in Alcoholic Addicts Anonymous isn’t about control—it’s about service, humility, and listening. Decisions are made by a collective spiritual sense, guided by mutual respect and a Higher Power as each person understands it. Every voice matters, but no one voice rules.
When we lean into shared wisdom, we protect the integrity and unity that Tradition 1 calls for.
