"A conversational journey through the Twelve Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous that is not only readable and informative, but richly layered with humor and insight. " - Richard Dan, Psychotherapist

Yet another in the Edward Bear/Tyler series of discourses, this one dealing with the often-neglected subject of the Twelve Traditions created by Alcoholics Anonymous in the late 1940’s to regulate group conduct. The Traditions are to the groups as the Steps are to the individual. So listen in while Edward and Tyler spend some time discussing not only the legacy, the lore and the wisdom of the Traditions, but also life, love, relationships, loyalty, Viagra and vampires.

Edward Bear (a pseudonym) was born in Brooklyn and grew up in Los Angeles. Early adventures included a brief stint in minor league baseball, too many years in construction, day labor and other dead-end jobs. A correspondence course in electronics landed him a job at Hewlett Packard where he was employed for nearly thirty years. Mr. Bear currently lives in the Rocky Mountains with his wife, plays a vintage Martin guitar and
writes in whatever time the gods and goddesses have left him.
