Service: The Third Legacy
AA’s Twelfth Step, carrying the message, is the basic service that our fellowship gives; it is our principal aim and the main reason for our existence. AA is more than a set of principles; it is a society of recovered alcoholics in action. We must carry AA’s message; otherwise we ourselves may fall into decay and those who have not yet been given the truth may die. This is why we so often say that action is the magic word. Action to carry AA’s message is therefore the heart of our Third Legacy of Service.
Yet some of us are still a bit confused about AA’s Third Legacy. We still ask, “Just what is this Third Legacy business anyhow? And just how much territory does ‘service action’ take in?”
The answer is simple. An AA service is anything whatever that legitimately helps us to reach fellow sufferers. As we have seen, the Twelfth Step call is the greatest of AA services. But the publicity that caused the prospect to get in touch with us, the car we rode in, the gasoline we paid for, and the cups of coffee we bought him – all these aids were necessary to make our call possible and effective. And this is only the start. Our services involve meeting places, hospital co-operation, Intergroup offices, and pamphlets and books. Services can require committees, delegates, trustees, and conferences. They include small voluntary money contributions so that the group, the area, and AA as a whole can function. They range all the way from the cup of coffee up to AA’s General Service Headquarters for national and international action. The sum of all these services is AA’s Third Legacy. Such services are utterly necessary to AA’s existence and growth. Yearning for simplicity, we often wonder if we could not do away with many of AA’s present services. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have no bother, no politics, no expense, and no responsibility! But this is only a dream about simplicity; it would not be simplicity in fact. Without its essential services, AA would soon become a formless, confused, and irresponsible anarchy. Reprinted from AA Comes of Age, pages 139-140, with permission from AA World Services, Inc.
Step Were entirely ready to have God remove all these character defects.
Tradition An AA group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the AA name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
Promise That feeling of useless-ness and self-pity will disappear.
