Safety Statement

• Here at the ____ Group, we want to provide a safe environment for everyone. It is this group's conscience that if any person endangers another individual or disrupts the group's efforts to carry A.A.'s message, the group may ask that person to leave the meeting. This group strives to safeguard the anonymity of A.A. members and attendees; however, keep in mind that anonymity is not a cloak for unsafe and illegal behavior.

  Addressing such behavior and/or contacting the proper authorities, when appropriate, does not go against any A.A. Traditions and is meant to ensure the safety of all in attendance. Predatory behaviors and unwanted sexual advances are in conflict with carrying the A.A. message of recovery and with A.A. principles. Manipulating another person in recovery into a sexual, emotional, or romantic relationship is unwanted here.

  Don't do it!
