DAILY REFLECTION FOR APRIL 29
"GROUP AUTONOMY"

Some may think that we have carried the principle of
group autonomy to extremes. For example, in its
original "long form," Tradition Four declares: "Any
two or three gathered together for sobriety may call
themselves an A.A. group, provided that as a group
they have no other affiliation" . . . But this ultra-
liberty is not so risky as it looks.
