FELLOWSHIP
Our Program is not something you join; it is a way of life.
~ Anonymous ~
There is a rich, deep fellowship in our Program. We have discovered friendships beyond anything we ever experienced be-fore. The meetings we attend, the people we sponsor, the coffee we pour, the service we perform, all make up the experience. But the Fellowship is not an organization; the Fellowship is the coming together of a group of men and women who share a way of life. This way of life is based on certain Steps and Traditions.
We participate in the Fellowship to better work our Steps and live the Traditions. We recover as we live this new way of life. We add to the Fellowship when we bring this life to the meetings. We cannot expect anyone to live our lives for us. If we do not do our work, we will have nothing to share.
In sharing, I give back what I have so freely taken. The Fellowship teaches me that my recovery is found in the Steps and Traditions. When I put them all together, I have a new way of life.
