Rageaholics Anonymous
12 Traditions
1. Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends on RA unity.
2. For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority - a loving God as expressed in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.
3. The only requirement for RA membership is a desire to stop expressing our anger.
4. Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or RA as a whole.
5. Each group has but one primary purpose - to carry its message to the rageaholic who still suffers.
6. An RA group ought never endorse, finance or lend the RA name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
7. Every RA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.
8. Rageaholics Anonymous should remain forever non-professional, but our service centers may employ special
workers.
9. RA, as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to
those they serve.
10. Rageaholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence, the RA name ought never be drawn into
public controversy.
11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal
anonymity at the level of press, radio and films.
12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.
