Intergroup Community Outreach

INTRODUCING: 

“TELL YOUR DOCTOR”

Help your Intergroup Community Outreach Committee inform 

Family Physicians

about alcoholism and about Alcoholics Anonymous

When you next see your doctor:

1.  Make sure the doctor knows that you are a sober alcoholic.

2.  Briefly share (a) what it was like for you when you were drinking (b) what happened that made you want sobriety, and (c) how AA helped you to get sober and stay sober.

3.  Leave some pamphlets with the doctor (these will be packaged and available for pick up at Central office or from your GSR).

4.  If you are willing and comfortable with this (not required):

– offer to talk to any patients of the doctor who have questions about recovery in AA 

– offer to accompany patients to their first AA meeting
