The AA is a Fellowship. It is made up of groups of members who meet each week, in towns and neighbourhoods, up and down the country. Their primary focus is to help alcoholics at all stages of recovery. The structure of AA works like an upside-down pyramid.
A typical A.A. group may have a chairperson, a secretary, a program committee, a food committee, a treasurer, and a general service representative (who acts for the group at regional or area meetings.
There are a variety of formats for A.A. meetings and each meeting takes on the feel of their local area. At most meetings you will hear members talk about what drinking did to them and to those around them. Most also share what actions they took to stop drinking and how they are living their lives today.
Welcome to a Round Robin meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. My name is JJ and I am an alcoholic. Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other, that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
The service structure is the framework in which our "general services" are carried out. It is the structure that takes the place of government in A.A., ensuring that the full voice of A.A. will be heard and guaranteeing that the desired services will continue to function under all conditions.
In a nutshell, the basics of AA are: Stop drinking/drugging, go to meetings, get a sponsor, work the steps, help another alcoholic. It's a very simple program, designed for complicated people.
Assign a General Service Representative to attend Intergroup meetings. Let the intergroup know of your proposed timing, venue, and type of group (open/closed). Place information in your local community (local media, notice-boards in shops, surgeries, libraries etc.) so they know the new AA group exists.
A business meeting is a gathering of professionals who come together to discuss operations, address changes or celebrate the success of an organization. Some groups who might meet together include company executives and employees, company representatives and clients or department leaders and their teams.
Group business meet- ings are meant to give members an opportunity to discuss subjects of importance to the group. Group conscience can be thought of in much the same way as personal conscience. Group conscience reflects a collective awareness of, understanding of, and surrender to spiritual principles.
If you arrive at a meeting early, you can ask the secretary or leader if they will sign your card or slip. If you were not given a court card, you will need to create your own. On a lined piece of paper make 3 columns and title them: DATE, MEETING NAME and SIGNATURE. Bring this paper to every meeting you attend.
