Our Work

C.P.C. committees provide information about AA to those who have contact with alcoholics through their profession. This includes health care professionals, educators, clergy, lawyers, social workers, union leaders, industrial managers, as well as those working in the field of alcoholism. Information is provided about where we are, what we are, what we can do, and what we cannot do.

The purpose of Public Information (PI) service work is to provide accurate AA information to the public. PI in AA also serves as a resource for the local media, emphasizing our Traditions of anonymity, singleness of purpose, and non-affiliation.

“In all public relationships, AA’s sole objective is to help still-suffering alcoholics. Always mindful of the importance of personal anonymity we believe this can be done by making known to still-suffering alcoholics, and to those who may be interested in their problem, our own experience as individuals, and as a Fellowship in learning to live without alcohol.

We believe that our experience should be made available freely to all who express sincere interest. We believe further that all our efforts in this field should always reflect our gratitude for the gift of sobriety and our awareness that many outside of AA are equally concerned with the serious problem of alcoholism.”
