[Businessmtg] Tradition 10

[Sandy Palmieri]

Thank you, Anna, for the wonderful topic and share.



Like others have shared, I love this tradition because it concentrates on
the single-minded purpose of Al-Anon and not diluting the program with
outside issues.


When I was a newcomer, my sponsor told me that something I shared was not
Al-Anon.  Confused because I had heard that there were no rules in Al-Anon,
I picked up the "Al-Anon Spoken Here(P-53)" pamphlet that was in my
Newcomer's packet and read it from page to page.  It showed me why it was
so important to leave all of my other affiliations outside of our
meetings.  It encouraged me to concentrate on the anonymity and equality in
our fellowship. It taught me to work my program by supporting Al-Anon unity
and by focusing on recovery in meetings. This pamphlet gave my program a
boost.

Love,
Sandy
