Cooperation with the Professional Community

 

 

 

 

 

West/Central Intergroup Committee for Cooperation with the Professional Community


If you are a professional looking for information about AA:

 

 

You might have patients, clients, employees, students or members of your congregation who may have a drinking problem.  We understand that you want to gather information about AA before you refer that person to an AA meeting for help.

 

Alcoholics Anonymous has many AA members and service committees who are available to provide professionals with information about Alcoholics Anonymous:  What we do, what we don’t do, how to find an AA meeting.

 

In Frederick, Maryland, you can reach the chairperson of the Cooperation with the Professional Community Committee by sending email to cpc@westcentralaa.org (attention:  CPC chair).

 

The chairperson will be happy to:

 

  • Mail you information about Alcoholics Anonymous;
  • Mail you local meeting schedules;
  • Take you to an open AA meeting so you can see for yourself what AA is;
  • Provide you with AA members who would be happy to accompany your patients/clients/etc. to their first AA meeting;
  • Arrange for AA members to present an overview of AA to you or your staff;
  • Put you into contact with other AA committees who can help you, such as the Hospitals & Institutions Committee

 

There is no “charge” for any of these services.  As part of our tradition of being self-supporting, AA does not accept outside contributions.  AA members volunteer because it helps keep them sober.

 

You can also contact our General Service Office in New York at 212-870-3400 or at this address:

A.A. Preamble (Copyright by The A.A. Grapevine, Inc.)

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 only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
