Divine Wisdom?

Mention our Twelve Traditions, and I immediately think of the mistakes that early AA members made. That's where our Traditions came from, and part of each Tradition chapter in our "Twelve and Twelve" is a brief, often humorous account of problems encountered by early groups because of the character defects of sober alcoholics and the mistakes they made out of good, if misguided, intentions. The Traditions give us both a sweeping inventory of the problems that threatened early groups, and an analysis of how the problems were rooted in the alcoholic personality.
