Area 9 Forum

The Area 9 Forum is a place where you can say what’s on your mind about AA topics, and respond to what others are writing on that topic.  Area 9 meetings and workshops have long been forums for sharing opinions on AA General Service, and we hope you will participate in this medium in a responsible way.  Let’s make sure we treat each other with respect even when we disagree.  And keep coming back!

Please submit only messages that are in keeping with AA principles.

Please keep your postings to under 500 words.  New topics will be selected periodically, and your messages will be reviewed and posted as soon as the Bulletin Board Monitor is able to review and post them (hopefully within 48 hours).  

Additionally, the following points of decorum will be observed:

          ii. no entries which attack or criticize another person will be posted
         iii. no entries mentioning outside issues in a controversial or provocative manner will be posted
