A.A. World Services
Literature to get started and keep you on your feet.
A.A. World Services has a multitude of literature and audio that is accessible but It can be daunting at first. Here are a few must read titles for those new and those familiar with A.A.
1. Pamphlet: Is A.A. for me?
2. A practical guide for the newcomer: Living Sober
3. The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous
4. Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions
Service Opportunities
A.A. Groups rely on each of us, from Greeters to Coffee Makers, Literature Persons, Group Reps, Treasurer, Chair Persons and Sponsors. Sobriety requirements start at 6 months. Great way to meet good people and maintain sobriety.

Meeting Online
By attending digital meetings, groups can focus on A.A.’s primary purpose: to carry its message of recovery to the alcoholic who still suffers. Many groups have alerted local A.A. offices or hotlines if they are temporarily not meeting in their regular space. Some groups have shared that they are utilizing digital platforms such as Zoom, Google Hangouts, or conducting conference calls. (from AAWS guidelines)
Seventh Tradition
The Seventh Tradition states: “Every A.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.” While contributions cover each group’s rent and other expenses, the Seventh Tradition is essential at every level of A.A. service.

Sponsorship
Alcoholics Anonymous began with sponsor-ship. When Bill W., only a few months sober, was stricken with a powerful urge to drink, this thought came to him: “You need another alcoholic to talk to. You need another alcoholic just as much as he needs you!”
From AA pamphlet P-15 “Questions & Answers on Sponsorship” (click for link)
