FORUM Discussion
BANNERS:
Prior to the 2023 Convention, a request was made by members who were in service for the convention to present their home group banners in representation of their contribution and efforts.
The AHC Steering committee convened to discuss the request which was denied for several reasons;
1. The request was brought to the AHC Steering committee's attention without ample notice to engage in a meaningful discussion about the benefits and implications that may arise thus leading to our decision to deny the request.
2. After some time to discuss the possibilities and implications, the committee stands by its decision based on these additional reasons;
Reflections on Anonymity from the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions
• We need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press,
radio and films.
• Anonymity to this extent is actually the practice of genuine humility.
• Even within the Fellowship every member’s name and story needs
to be confidential if the member so wishes it.
• Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion.
• As a Fellowship, we wish to publicize our principles and our work
but not individual members.
• To us the Tradition of anonymity is far more than a sound public
relations policy. It is more a denial of self-seeking.
• This Tradition of anonymity is a constant and practical reminder
that personal ambition has no place in A.A.
• The spiritual substance of anonymity is sacrifice.
• Moved by the spirit of anonymity, we try to give up our natural
desires for personal distinction both among fellow alcoholics and
before the general public.
• We are sure that humility, expressed by anonymity, is the greatest
safeguard that Alcoholics Anonymous can ever have.
