Abstract
The purpose of this article is to examine the spirituality of recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) with a focus on the triadic community of God (Higher Power), neighbor and self. This triadic nexus is termed the “ontological generality,” and is interpreted as an aspect of perennial theo-philosophy. AA is interpreted as an experiment in human fulfillment through the right love of self as integrated into this triadic community. Our approach relies on the methods of the humanities.
