About Lyn S.
​​
ur Eleventh Tradition states, “Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.”
In the context of On What Slender Threads, Lyn's biography defers to A.A.'s first Tradition; that each member "is but a small part of a great whole."
​
This book was the result of many alcoholics who came together during the pandemic to study the Twelve Traditions by including historians' and biographers' research on A.A.'s early fellowship. The online venues joined A.A. members from around the globe who shared a love for A.A.'s spiritual principles and reinforced how it's Traditions transcend the challenges posed by time, language, and culture. As only a small part of this labor of love, Lyn merely put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard).

All who contributed to this work tried to carry the message.
As a friend in Iran says, “All of us say our first name followed by ‘I am an alcoholic.’ We have the same last name, ‘I am an alcoholic.’ Therefore, we are family.”
Lyn wrote On What Slender Threads: A.A.’s Twelve Traditions from a Historical Perspective with the help of her family.
