LITERATURE COMMITTEE

LET LITERATURE CARRY THE MESSAGE

Today, as in the early days of Alcoholics Anonymous, one alcoholic talking to another carries the A. A. message of recovery from alcoholism. However, since the publication of the first edition of the Big Book in 1939, literature has played an important role in spreading the A. A. message and imparting information about the A. A. Twelve Step program of recovery.

The newcomer, walking into an A. A. group for the first time, may be be given a meeting list, basic recovery pamphlets and, depending 
on the individual group conscience, perhaps a copy of Living 
Sober or the Big Book.

In 1992, the Conference Literature Committee suggested that the trustees’ Literature Committee develop literature committee guidelines comprised of shared experience from the Fellowship.

These guidelines provide a summary of shared experience of A.A.s in the groups, central and intergroup offices, general service areas and districts who have formed literature committees and shared how they “Let Literature Carry the Message, Too.”

District 07 Standing Committee's would like to encourage more AA members to get involved. As an AA member, your help is needed in service. Interested?
