Group Service Structure
"The entire structure of A.A. depends upon the participation and conscience of the individual groups, and how each of these groups conducts its affairs has a ripple effect on A.A. everywhere. Thus, we are ever individually conscious of our responsibility for our own sobriety and, as a group, for carrying the A.A. message to the suffering alcoholic who reaches out to us for help". |

The A.A. Group . . . Where it all begins |
The diagram below (reprinted with permission from A.A. World Services, Inc. from the A.A. service manual) is a suggested scenario for a group service structure. In the spirit of Tradition Four which states, “Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or A.A. as a whole” the A.A. group has the right to handle its affairs anyway it wishes. |
