A Short Version of Al-Anon’s 12 Traditions

D17 Website Coordinator · December 30, 2025 · 2 Comments

  1. All for one––one for all.
  2. We have but one boss––a loving God.
  3. Relatives of alcoholics help others to help themselves.
  4. We run our own affairs––that is enough for most of us.
  5. We have but one purpose––that’s a full-time job.
  6. We tend to our own business.
  7. We pay our own way.
  8. We hire people to do things we cannot do.
  9. We don’t organize but we make some arrangements.
  10. We stay out of squabbles––we might fight dirty.
  11. We let people know we exist––politely and in good taste.
  12. Anonymity is our cloak of protection:  it protects us—it does not hide us.

    Thanks for posting this. Anytime I have heard it I thought it made the Traditions so clear and was not sure where it was to be found.

      I do not know its original source. I got it from another Al-Anon member after hearing it at a meeting.
