Rage-Anon

12 Traditions

<Printable Version>

1. Our common welfare should come first: personal progress for the greatest number depends on unity.

2. For our group purposes there is but one authority a loving God as expressed in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants -- they do not govern.
3. The only requirements for membership are that there be a problem of rageaholism in a relative or friend. The relatives of rageaholics, when gathered together for mutual aid, may call themselves a Rage-Anon Family Group, provided that, as a group, they have no other affiliation.
4. Each group should be autonomous, except in matters affecting other Rage-Anon Family Groups, or Rage-Anon. as a whole.
5. Each Rage-Anon Family Group has but one purpose: to help families of rageaholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps of Rage-Anon ourselves, by encouraging and understanding our addicted relatives, and by welcoming and giving comfort to families of rageaholics.
6. Our Family groups ought never endorse, finance or lend our name to any outside enterprise, least problems of money, property and prestige divert us from our primary spiritual aim; but although a separate entity, we should always cooperate with Rageaholics Anonymous.
7. Every group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.
8. Rage-Anon Twelfth Step work should remain forever non-professional, but our service centers may employ special workers.
9. Our groups, as such ought never be organized, but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.
10. The Rage-Anon Family Groups have no opinion on outside issues; hence our 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. We need guard with special care the anonymity of all Rage-Anon members.
12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities
