anonymity and tradition 12
The 12th tradition is the same in all the recovery programs. It states "12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities." - AA world services
the long form goes like this.
12. And finally, we of Alcoholics Anonymous believe that the principle of anonymity has an immense spiritual significance. It reminds us that we are to place principles before personalities; that we are actually to practice a genuine humility. This to the end that our great blessings may never spoil us; that we shall forever live in thankful contemplation of Him who presides over us all.
hope you enjoy it, and get something valuable to take on your journey with you.

Perception
the concept of this episode is that the nature of an experience changes drastically depending on the perspective of the person having it. Science has admitted this in saying, The outcome of a study is affected by the observer. This is true in many situations, one man hates to take long car rides another loves it, the way they would describe the same long road trip would be much different. I hope you enjoy our humble offering about how perception effects reality
