The Twelve Concepts and Public Information

From the early days of our Fellowship, our Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions have guided us as a Fellowship and paved the way for our growth. The guiding principles of our Traditions have influenced our fundamental decisions, helping to protect us from ourselves. The Twelve Concepts, as guiding principles, empower the groups to create an efficient and responsive service structure to serve their common needs.

In the pages which follow, we will discuss the Twelve Concepts as they apply to the delivery of services from a Public Information perspective. These essays are not intended to replace the more thorough discussion of the Concepts in the pamphlet, "The Twelve Concepts of NA Service." This discussion is solely our shared experience on the subject, from a Public Information point of view.

On the following pages are short essays on each Concept as they apply to PI service:

Concept 1 • Concept 2 • Concept 3 • Concept 4 • Concept 5 • Concept 6 • Concept 7 • Concept 8 • Concept 9 • Concept 10 • Concept 11 • Concept 12
