Simplicity is the key to our symbol.
It imitates the simplicity of our Fellowship. All sorts of
occult and esoteric connotations can be found in its simple
outlines, but foremost in the minds of the Fellowship are
easily understood meanings and relationships.

a universal and total program that has room within it for
all manifestations of the recovering person.

The square, whose lines are defined, is easily seen and understood,
but there are other unseen parts of the symbol. The squre
base denotes goodwill, the ground of both the Fellowship and
the members of our society. Good will is best exemplified
in service; proper service is "Doing the right thing
for the right reason." When Good will supports and motivates
both the individual and the Fellowship, we are fully whole
and wholly free. Probably the last to be lost to freedom will
be the stigma of being an addict.

It is the four pyramid sides that rise from the base in a
three dimensional figure that represent Self, Society, Service
and God. All rise to the point of Freedom. All parts are closely
related to the needs and aims of the addict who is seeking
recovery, and to the purpose of the Fellowship which is to
make recovery available to all. The greater the base, (as
we grow in unity in numbers and in fellowship) the broader
the sides of the pyramid, and the higher the point of freedom.
