Jefferson County, New York AA Meetings
Jefferson County includes the Watertown-Fort Drum, NY Metropolitan Statistical Area in New York state. Those with substance use disorders in the local area may be searching for AA meetings in Jefferson County. Alcoholics Anonymous NY is an addiction recovery program based on the 12 Steps and the 12 Traditions. Many people have heard of the 12 Steps, but what about the 12 Traditions?
According to the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, the difference is that the 12 Steps are a set of spiritual principles that, when followed—as laid out in the Big Book—will lead to what the book describes as a spiritual awakening. A spiritual awakening can involve anything from a simple change in perspective about a person’s drinking to a profound, unexplained experience that results in an immediate positive change.
The Traditions, written by AA founder, Bill Wilson (commonly referred to as Bill W. in the Big Book), were created as a guide to help AA members apply positive measures to their everyday lives. The Traditions are also adapted to how each AA group is conducted. In a nutshell, the Traditions help guide the group’s unity, helping group members put aside their personal needs and wants, in favor of consideration for what is best for the AA group. The Steps on the other hand, have a primary function in the sobriety of each AA member.
