A Friend of Bill W. 

The circle and triangle is an ancient spiritual symbol meaning mind, body, and spirit together as one.

In AA, the circle and the triangle represents a three part solution to a three part problem.  We have a physical, mental and spiritual disease which requires a physical, mental and spiritual solution. The triangle is equilateral representing that all three components are used and practiced equally within our lives. The triangle is the strongest construction structure known to man.

• Recovery is found in the 12 Steps of AA and is the entire foundation of our program.
• Unity and Service cannot be a part of our lives unless we are working the 12 Steps in our lives.
• The Set of Twelve Spiritual Principles governing our recovery (12 Steps) is found in the first part of the Big Book, ending on page 164.
• Am I continuously working the 12 Step process as outlined in the AA Big Book?

• The Physical part of our disease requires that we join in the fellowship of AA.
• The 12 spiritual principals used within the fellowship are the 12 Traditions.
• Do I have a group that I am committed to and involved with?

• Service in AA is found in carrying the message of AA to another alcoholic and in the 12 spiritual principals known as the 12 Concepts.
• Am I working iwth other alcoholics taking them through the twelve steps?
• Am I practicing all of the spiritual principals inside and outside AA?
• Am I restless, irritable or discontent?
• If AA is in the meetings, the 12 Steps, and working with others, where am I with my program?
