A twelve-step program is a set of guiding or spiritual principles outlining a course of action for tackling problems related to addiction. Any behavior that is detrimental that we continue to return to is the result of some form of an compulsive addiction that may be the result of a deeper problem stemming from the Shadow Consciousness.

Because these steps required group effort there was also The Twelve Traditions^[1] accompany the Twelve Steps to supply some form of self governance within chapters through a common union and discipline.

A key element to success is Sponsorship. A sponsor was a more experienced person aiding in recovery who guides the less-experienced aspirant or padawan^[2] in the ways of the twelve steps.

The recovery process deals with many areas and problems. Whether it is compulsive behaviors like eating, dieting, cleaning, counting or hoarding, or distractibility like hyperactivity, mania, or hypomania, irritability, panic attacks, psychosomatic illnesses, or dysfunctional compulsions like depression, lack of motivation, laziness, poor impulse control, procrastination, or even abusive behavior of others or self-injury and suicide attempts. In all these conditions there must be a comprehensive approach that address physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual states.

The Twelve Traditions
1. Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon AA unity.
2. For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority—a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.
3. The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking.
4. Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or AA as a whole.
5. Each group has but one primary purpose—to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.
6. An AA group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the AA name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
7. Every AA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.
8. Alcoholics Anonymous should remain forever non-professional, but our service centers may employ special workers.
9. AA, as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.
10. Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy.
11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always to maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.
12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.
↑ Padawan learner, a term from Star Wars identifying a Jedi in Training, referred to a Force-sensitive adolescent who had begun one-on-one instruction with a Jedi Knight or Master outside of the Jedi academy.

[1] The Twelve Traditions
Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon AA unity.

For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority—a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.

The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking.

Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or AA as a whole.

Each group has but one primary purpose—to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.

An AA group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the AA name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.

Every AA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.

Alcoholics Anonymous should remain forever non-professional, but our service centers may employ special workers.

AA, as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.

Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy.

Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always to maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.

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