2012 GENERAL SERVICE CONFERENCE WORKSHOP

Safety in A.A.: Our Common Welfare
Wednesday, April 25, 2012

Participants are invited to share on the workshop topic selected by the 2011 Conference, “Safety in A.A.: Our Common Welfare.” The questions listed below are intended to facilitate a full and fruitful sharing session.

"Each member of Alcoholics Anonymous is but a small part of a greater whole. A.A. must continue to live or most of us will surely die. Hence our common welfare comes first. But individual welfare follows close afterward." – Tradition One (Long Form)
