Newcomer Needs Being Met
General solutions to help Newcomers
The Fellowship identified the following general solutions to help Newcomers in online meetings: -
• Groups taking care to identify newcomers and give them special attention before and after meeting, helping them on a case-by-case basis
• Continuing to encourage sponsorship at group level
• Providing and / or links to the AA website for the newcomer such as: -
- A newcomers’ Starter pack
- Information about what to expect in an AA meeting
- The Big Book / Living Sober / other AA literature
- Leaflet on sponsorship
- The AA website bookshop
