I wouldn't say that is a violation of any Tradition. The manner you've proposed? Not sure. Email can be a touchy subject. I'd probably personally want to avoid it. HI Jim,

I’m not sure how insightful I might be… :) but I know that in Suffolk County, NY local groups mail each other postcards announcing sobriety anniversaries that are then announced during secretary reports in a meeting. I wouldn’t say that is a violation of any Tradition.

The manner you’ve proposed? Not sure. Email can be a touchy subject. I’d probably personally want to avoid it.

Does this violate any traditions? Please provide some insight for:

Does this violate any traditions?

It's fair to say that I have never really given them too much consideration and that is a shame (being "green" is no excuse). Me thinks that I need to start studying them - thank you for the tags to the checklists. The traditions should be a very important part of my program. I have much to ponder and discuss w/my sponsor and other AA friends. Very cool! s. Hi Mark,

Often we are left to the interpretation of "locals" as to what steps/ traditions mean. I believe the 7th and 8th Traditions need a broader understanding of what the founders meant.
