“Final responsibility and ultimate authority for A.A. world services should always reside in the collective conscience of our whole fellowship.”
I finally found a copy of “The Twelve Concepts for World Service” illustrated pamphlet. The pamphlet is meant to be an introduction to the Twelve Concepts.
I’ll try to relate the reason The Concepts were drawn up from the pamphlet.

The Twelve Rewards Of Sobriety
[attributed, in this version, to Searcy W.]
Faith instead of despair.
Courage instead of fear.
Hope instead of desperation.
Peace of mind instead of confusion.
Real friendships instead of loneliness.
Self-respect instead of self-contempt.
Self-confidence instead of helplessness.
A clean conscious instead of a sense of guilt.
The respect of others instead of their pity and contempt.
A clean pattern of living instead of a hopeless existence.
The love and understanding of our families instead of their doubts and fears.
The freedom of a happy life instead of the bondage of an alcoholic obsession.
