Tradition 11: Attraction Rather Than Promotion Workshop

Explore how anonymity and humility help AA remain visible without becoming promotional.

Tradition 11 asks AA members to rely on attraction rather than promotion. This interactive workshop helps participants recognize where that line can become blurred—in public speaking, meetings, social media, and everyday communication.

Two readers present “what went wrong” and “a better way” versions of four realistic scenarios, giving the group a clear contrast to discuss together. The workshop also connects Tradition 11 with Tradition 12 and the spiritual principles of anonymity and humility.

What the Workshop Covers

  • Speaking about AA without speaking for AA
  • Sharing experience without claiming authority
  • Gratitude posts and public social media
  • Protecting the anonymity of others
  • Promotion that can happen inside meetings
  • Avoiding claims that AA is the only path
  • Recognizing subtle online anonymity breaks
  • Using humility to keep principles above personalities

The materials include a complete facilitator guide, four discussion scenarios, reader scripts, reflection questions, a timed agenda, setup instructions, a resource list, and a pre-workshop checklist.
