P. O. Box 1980

Have just read the 12 Concepts of Service. Rather deep at the moment, but a few bedtime readings should help me to get in the picture. When I first came to AA I fondly imagined that all I'd have to do was learn the Twelve Steps off by heart and I'd qualify as an active member. Now I know that the only way I can imprint them on my heart is by putting them into action. That seems to be the way with the Traditions and other AA principles. They have to be put into practice first before they can be really understood.
