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.
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.
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.
The main difference between meetings and groups is that A.A. groups generally continue to exist outside the prescribed meeting hours, ready to provide Twelfth Step help when needed. A.A. groups are encouraged to get listed with G.S.O., as well as with their local offices: area, dis- trict, intergroup or central office.
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.
