Continued from last week:
B. Your area general server committee.
In many places, this body has institutions committees which perform the jobs described above. There may also be a local committee on co-operation with the professional community (CPC), attached either to the CO or the area general service committee.

To familiarise yourself with the work of the CPC committee, see the guidelines on co-operation with the professional community and the pamphlet “If you are a professional, AA wants to work with you.”
C. Your local or neighbourhood Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) group.
In many groups, institution or treatment facility representatives keep members informed about AA pamphlets, books and old grapevines for residents, or the money to buy them.
They also encourage members to participate in this kind of message-carrying.
If the group has a specific commitment to any professional agency, the institution or treatment facility representative makes sure this responsibility is always met.

An AA group may, for example, decide to “sponsor” AA meetings in a certain treatment facility.
You can read more about the activities of the treatment facility or institutions representatives in the pamphlet “The AA group.”
D. You, yourself.
In the end, every AA job depends on the individual AA member for its fulfilment. No AA committee, board, office or group can make any member do anything, or stop doing anything.
It is the individual AA member who says: “I am responsible. Whenever anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of AA always to be there.
And for that, I am responsible.” Many of the happiest sober people in AA live by those words. The AA Estcourt branch hosts meetings every Tuesday at Forderville Primary School from 7pm to 8pm. Contact Desigan on 082 849 3014.
