Three Legacies: The Steps, Traditions & Concepts

The Twelve Steps The Twelve Traditions The Concepts & Warranties

The Al-Anon and Alateen program of recovery is based on the Three Legacies as adopted from the experience of Alcoholics Anonymous. The Steps are the foundation for personal recovery, the Traditions help Al-Anon groups sustain their unity and fellowship, and the Concepts provide guidance for service.

The Twelve Steps

Study of these Steps is essential to progress in the Al-Anon program. The principles they embody are universal, applicable to everyone, whatever your personal creed. In Al-Anon, we strive for an ever-deeper understanding of these Steps, and pray for the wisdom to apply them to our lives.

The Twelve Traditions

These guidelines are means of promoting harmony and growth in Al-Anon groups and in the worldwide fellowship of Al-Anon as a whole. Our group experience suggests that our unity depends upon our adherence to these Traditions.

The Twelve Concepts of Service

The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions are guides for personal growth and group unity. The Twelve Concepts are guides for service. They show how Twelve Step work can be done on a broad scale and how members of a World Service Office can relate to each other and to the groups, through a World Service Conference, to spread Al-Anon's message worldwide.
