“Therefore, an AA group that meets in a correctional or treatment facility or a church can take care not to use the institution’s name, but to call itself something quite different. “Even the appearance of being linked to any organization, club, political or religious institution needs to be avoided. the group maintains the anonymity of its members (no full names or photos of members in public view)įrom page 22 of the pamphlet “The AA Group” (copyright AAWS, Inc.the group has no opinion on outside issues.the group does not endorse outside enterprises.the group is fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.all group members are alcoholics (or have a desire to stop drinking) and the group is willing to “open the door to all alcoholics who seek help, regardless of profession, gender, or other distinction” (“The AA Group,” p.“An AA group ought never go into business.”įor an overview of how the Traditions apply to groups, see the pamphlet “The AA Group … Where it all begins.” In brief: Groups or meetings calling themselves “AA” but that participate in “affiliate programs” that is, they receive income from ad placement (or from any non-AA source).Meetings that appear to be conducted by an organization or by individuals who are not AA members for example, commercial sites that have created “meetings” for the purpose of attracting traffic to their sites.
Likewise, the group or meeting name should not contain the provider’s name. submissions will be considered if the description is about the AA meeting and not about the provider. However, if your online meeting is hosted by a provider such as Google, Zoom, etc.
Meeting submissions will be reviewed and filtered based on the guidelines below by the Policies and Admissions Committee (PAC). Any online AA group or meeting may be listed in the Directory provided that it subscribes to the Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous, using the Meeting Submission Form.
