What that's really telling me is that every aa group pays their own way. Every aa group, through the contributions of their members, will cover the expenses for rent for the room, literature, coffee, snacks, etc.
Why should AA groups be self-supporting? Aron C. dives into this critical topic in the 'Keep It Simple - Daily Reading' podcast. Tradition Seven is all about ensuring that every AA group stands on its own two feet financially, without leaning on outside contributions. Aron breaks down how members' donations cover essentials like rent, literature, and those all-important coffee and snacks. He highlights the risks of accepting external funds, explaining how it can jeopardize the group's independence and mission.
Aron also reassures newcomers and visitors that they aren't expected to contribute, making meetings welcoming for everyone. This episode offers a clear, practical guide to understanding why self-sufficiency is a cornerstone of AA's philosophy. Tune in for an insightful discussion that sheds light on the financial integrity and unity of AA groups.
