Service Keeps Us Sober!!

Khaos WolfKat — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 22:34:10 +0000

Service offers us the opportunity to implement our primary purpose ”to carry the message to the alcoholic who still suffers” Service in AA is based in the 12 spiritual principles known as the 12 Concepts, which are found in the General Service Manual and the appendix of the Big Book of AA. “Our Twelfth Step – carrying the message – is the basic service that the AA Fellowship gives; this is our principle aim and the main reason for our existence. Therefore, AA is more than a set of principles; it is a society of alcoholics in action. We must carry the message, else we ourselves can wither, and those who haven’t been
given the truth may die.” from AA’s Legacy of Service, The AA service Manual

The current list of Noonaroos service positions, and descriptions of each service position can be found at this link.

If you are interested in a service position, or wish to discuss service in general, this is the thread for that!

If you wish to sign up for a service position, either talk to a Secretary, Host, or Co-Host in the “virtual parking lot” after the meeting, or post to this thread, and we'll get you doing service, working with others, and enriching your program in no time.

Unity in the Fellowship!

Unity has provided us with a fellowship made up of people who share our own common problem; who give us the love and support necessary to maintain our sobriety. AA’s 12 Traditions present the principles which support the unity of the AA fellowship at the group level.

”AA’s 12 Traditions apply to the life of the Fellowship itself. They outline the means by which AA maintains its unity and relates to the world about it, the way it lives and grows.”

~ AA co-founder Bill W

Recovery for the Win!

Recovery has given us a second chance to find happiness and freedom; to live useful and productive lives. The 12 steps and the Big Book are known as Recovery and are the entire foundation of the program. Bill W.’s words in the forward of the book Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions states that; “AA’s 12 Steps are a group of principles, spiritual in their nature, which, if practiced as a way of life, can expel the obsession to drink and enable the sufferer to become happily and usefully whole”

Three Legacies of AA: Unity, Service, & Recovery.

Taken together, the 12 Steps, 12 Traditions and 12 Concepts embody what are known as the Three Legacies of Alcoholics Anonymous: Recovery, Unity and Service.

”So the solution to our Alcoholism is found in the Three legacies – Recovery, Unity, Service – given to the whole membership of AA by its co—founders (Bill W. and Dr. Bob) and their fellow old-timers. Each legacy has 12 guiding Spiritual principles for a total of 36 guiding principles.”

Meeting Secretaries & Group Officers

This group is where to find more sensitive documentation, mostly. It would be a sub-group of the Crew group if sub-groups were currently supported.

There are a couple old plugins for that, but nothing that works with this version of Elgg. Sadly.

The place for fun and games, jokes, memes, shenanigans, tomfoolery, hijinks, flim-flam and other such silly buggers.

Bidness!

Noonaroos holds our Business Meeting on the fourth Sunday of every month, directly after the meeting (so, a little after 1pm, PT).

During these meetings, we discuss how our meetings are run, our policies, practices, service positions, terms, and everything else about our group. Sometimes elections are held for service positions.

Home Group members can make and second motions, and have a vote. All Noonaroos AA Group meeting attendees have a voice during discussion of a motion.

Previous Business Meeting Minutes and Agendas can be found here.
