To help groups assess how to re-open meetings safely, we are providing a few informed group conscience considerations. Informed Group Conscience Considerations: Traditions - we must ensure our group decisions do not negatively impact our fellow members or A.A. as a whole, and that we as individuals act in ways that ensure our common welfare. Tradition 1 tells us “Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon A.A. unity.” Tradition 4 states “Each group is autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or A.A. as a whole.” We have to consider the health and well-being of other A.A. members, and we need to protect the positive reputation and goodwill of A.A. in the community.. Responsibility - Groups should continue to abide by local and government health organization guidelines for social distancing and safety (e.g., limiting the number of people into the space, facial coverings, etc.) As an organization and as individuals, we are not exceptions to the law. Our program of recovery has taught us to be responsible citizens both in A.A. and the world. While there are no ‘musts’ in the A.A. program, there are legal musts in the larger community. Groups need to remain within the regulations and mandates of our state The information listed here is provided solely as a service to our members.
