Tradition 4 - Adult Children of Alcoholics

4. Each group is autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or ACA as a whole. We cooperate with all other 12-Step programs.

It's important that we let people do things their way in their group. Each grouping of people has their own style. And we specifically need to work hand in hand with the other groups because they can all touch here.

These comments are in relation to MP ACA. Our group, MIP Adult Children Anonymous is not an official ACA group. It does not use official ACA materials.

It appears that as members we can refer to ACA materials and resources, which is good. ACA proper allow us to use non-approved materials. And so we can do this here as long as we tag it as such.

So MIP ACA is right out there and autonomous. it is reliant of the goodwill of members of keeping things within bounds... and has a >panic< button i would assume.

My experience of intervention was that Tradition One was applied, and applied fairly. 

I have never sensed any Tradition Four issues...

 

Thanks James.
