The Twelve Spiritual Principles

Behind the Steps and the Traditions:


We have guiding principles which are the spiritual background for working the program through the Steps and the Traditions.  Each Step has a Principle behind it.  Each Tradition has a Principle behind it, too.  And, there are Concepts with Principles.  These Principles, once learned and applied to how we live our lives, are our grounding foundation upon which we can live our lives.  The Principles for each Step, Tradition, and Concept are:
  • Step One – Honesty                                  Tradition One – Unity                           Concept One – Unity
  • Step Two – Hope                                        Tradition Two – Trust                           Concept Two – Conscience
  • Step Three – Faith                                     Tradition Three – Identity                    Concept Three – Trust
  • Step Four – Courage                                 Tradition Four – Autonomy                  Concept Four – Equality
  • Step Five – Integrity                                 Tradition Five – Purpose                       Concept Five – Consideration
  • Step Six – Willingness                              Tradition Six – Solidarity                      Concept Six – Responsibility
  • Step Seven – Humility                               Tradition Seven – Responsibility       Concept Seven – Balance
  • Step Eight – Self-discipline                      Tradition Eight – Fellowship                Concept Eight – Delegation
  • Step Nine – Love                                          Tradition Nine – Structure             ​      Concept Nine – Ability
  • Step Ten – Perseverance                            Tradition Ten – Neutrality                   Concept Ten – Clarity
  • Step Eleven – Spiritual Awareness          Tradition Eleven – Anonymity            Concept Eleven – Humility
  • Step Twelve – Service                                  Tradition Twelve – Spirituality          Concept Twelve – Guideline
