The A.A. Home Group

"Once isolated by our drinking, we find in the home group a solid, continuing support system, friends and, very often, a sponsor. We also learn firsthand, through the group's workings, how to place 'principles before personalities' in the interest of carrying the A.A. message."

The A.A. Group, p. 16

Final Thought:

"Having someone attend their first A.A. meeting with a member is desirable, though not a must. Most newcomers have many questions. The sponsor can answer these and reassure the newcomer that others have experienced the same reluctance and fear in taking a first step toward recovery."
