Traditions

[BIG AL]

I wanted yalls opinion on something.I posted a peice of the Big Book on another forum that is a fishing forum.I posted it in the spiritual section on the site.I wrote the chapter with the Jay-walker.I was going to post pg 30 and I thought am I breaking traditions?Am I promoting rather than attracting.What do yall think is it cool to do this?

"Promotion" is dependant on a personality. Like saying "I'm Big Al and I'm sober via A.A. and I recommend it to anyone". That's "promotion"
Just like fishing, you're tossing something attractive at the fish for them to either take or ignore. It's no different.

Fishing and jay-walking; definately a connection Big Al. I am sure you have your reasons for wanting to share this piece of literature on a website. As always ask yourself what your true motives are. Some people we cannot share recovery with; some people we cannot fish with.

In answer to the question, I see no break with Traditions. We have no market cornered on spiritual axioms or theories, the Big Book can be purchased at Barnes & Nobel. You get to decide if you want to disclose your anonimity by announcement or suggestion.

However, be careful. I had a few things backfire when I was younger in sobriety and I guess we all have our learning curve about when, what, with whom and how we share the message.

Blessings!
