“An Intergroup is an A.A. service office that involves partnership among groups in a community, just as A.A. groups themselves are partnerships of individuals. It is established to carry out
certain functions common to all groups . . . functions which are best handled by a centralized office ~ and it is usually maintained,
supervised and supported by these groups in their general interest. It exists to aid groups in their common purpose of carrying the A.A.
message to the alcoholic who still suffers.” Guidelines on Intergroups/Central Offices

CONSCIOUS CONTACT
"In meditation, debate has no place. We rest quietly with the thoughts or prayers of
spiritually centered people who understand, so that we may experience and learn.
This is the state of being that so often discovers and deepens a conscious contact
with God."
- As Bill Sees It, page 108
WE SEEK THROUGH MEDITATION
Seeking "through prayer and meditation," the Eleventh Step tells us, was among the vital actions
that brought sobriety to the earliest members of Alcoholics Anonymous. Obviously, if we want what those
pioneers had and if we are "willing to go to any length to get it," we should pray and meditate.
As I slowly made my own way through the Steps, I was aware that I had to understand them fully if
I was to take them. Prayer was not a big problem. By the time most of us reach the Eleventh Step, we are
familiar with communication with a Higher Power. Indeed, by the time alcoholism has beaten us to our
knees, most of us accept the fact that we should stay on our knees and start praying.
But meditation? I realized that I had never really meditated. Oh, there were plentiful lonely hours
(even complete nights) during my drunken years when my interpretation of meditation was wallowing in
self-pity and fantasizing a dismal future.
Had I ever listened for answers during my pre-AA life? I searched my memory, and all I heard was
a sick me bragging and commiserating with myself.
Today, I ask, "What good is meditation to a non-listener?" Because now I know that meditation is
basically listening - and hearing what the precepts of our program intend me to absorb. There is no end to
the answers that can be revealed while we engage in serious and extended periods of concentration.
Since this kind of thinking occurs only when we are alone with our Higher Power, meditation, like
prayer is usually a silent act. And although revelations may come suddenly during our meditation, it is
best when done leisurely. What a lesson in patience!
The "Easy Does It" aspect of meditation allows us time to realize that the sudden insights we
receive about ourselves are not complete fulfillments of our goals. These tentative answers require
deeper investigation during further meditation.
Meditation, of course, is a personal act. To prove useful, it demands that our thinking remain
confined to ourselves rather than to society as a whole. Only by
improving ourselves can caring and sharing come. Meditation, like
many other facets of our recovery, calls for total commitment. After all,
we can hope to grow only by developing our own individual
capabilities.
We should not be dismayed if some of our meditative thoughts
become retrospective. Memories of errors can create lessons for today.
Better still is meditating on events of the past that brought us great
pleasure. Sometimes meditation can be like going home again; it can
build a desire to return to a happy self, before alcoholism came - a
determination to get back something we once had and lost.

(continued from page 1)
Meditation should result in a change in liv-
ing patterns. It can spur the direction of attention
toward a single purpose. It can produce a willing-
ness to analyze ourselves - and then change.
Meditation will reveal both our abilities and
our limitations and prepare us to accept both. Such
a realistic outlook will make us sure we belong with
our fellow AAs - a big step toward liking ourselves.
Meditation will help us see how much clos-
er to our goals we come each day, at the same time
cautioning us that we can never arrive. We wel-
come the truth that there is no finish line in spiritual
growth. Perhaps the greatest gift of meditation is
the realization that we can never say, "I've got it all
wrapped up and can coast the rest of the way
through my sobriety."
How do we meditate? Whatever way best
suits each of us individually. There are no set rules,
no firm patterns. We can make the act easy and
comfortable or hard and frustrating. Either way, the
act will be rewarding. Rather than ask ourselves,
"How well did I do?" we can ask "How well did I
try?" The lonely act will find us in good company -
with our Higher Power.
On what do we meditate? I spent much
time asking myself that question until one day I
heard a meeting leader greet newcomers with these
words: "Welcome to our world, the world of AA."
And I heard because it was my time to receive that
answer. Why not meditate on the wonderful things
that make up the world of AA?
Now I have no trouble finding a brand-new
topic every time I make way for meditation: honesty,
gratitude, humility, faith, love, open-mindedness,
willingness, tolerance, truth, trust, hope, positive
thinking. The opportunities for savoring, through
meditation, the gifts of our Fellowship are inex-
haustible.

Tradition Eleven—”Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio
and films.”
To the million alcoholics who have not yet heard our AA story, we should ever say, “Greetings and welcome. Be assured that we shall never weaken the lifelines which float out to you. In our public relations, we shall, God willing, keep
the faith.”

The A.A. Group
Treasurer
“Safeguarding the
Group’s Money”
*********************************** The group treasurer takes reasonable
precautions to safeguard the group’s
funds. Many groups keep the group’s
treasury in a bank checking account in
the group’s name, often requiring at
least two signatures on all checks. This
provides security againat accidental
loss; it also provides ease of
disbursement and a continuing record of
income and expenses. Monthly bank
statements are normally sent directly to
the group treasurer. Who can bring them
to the group’s business meeting.
