Service – AA in Western North Carolina

12th Step Call Volunteer

What exactly IS the 12th STEP LIST? The 12-Step List is a collection of contact information for AAs who are willing to respond to someone who contacts Alcoholics Anonymous for help — by phone, email, or text, day or night. These volunteers believe in giving back what was freely given to them, fulfilling the 12th step of their own program while ensuring that the hand of AA is there for the suffering alcoholic who reaches out for help.

Central Office Representative

What is a Central Office Representative and what are their duties? Central Office Reps or COR’s are similar to GSR’s and their relationship with AA Districts. COR’s are responsible for voting their group’s conscience at COR meetings and to inform the NCMCO Board about any concerns of their AA home group. The COR tries to keep their home group informed about what the Central Office is doing. COR’s are responsible for participating in the quarterly COR meetings, to share their home group’s experience in carrying the AA message and express how NCMCO may better serve the area’s AA Community.

Inside the Walls

Your job now is to be at the place where you may be of maximum helpfulness to others, so never hesitate to go anywhere if you can be helpful.”
Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 102

“Nearly 70 years ago, Warden Clinton Duffy asked A.A. members to bring an A.A. meeting into San Quentin. Today there are over 38,700 A.A.s in confinement and 1,555 prison groups throughout the United States and Canada. These meetings answer only a fraction of the need for more groups in correctional facilities all across the country. Many there reach for, but don’t find, the hand of A.A. Carrying the A.A. message into jails, juvenile detention centers and prisons is an important and rewarding service, and one where there is a constant need for volunteers.”

North Carolina Mountain Central Office wants to provide a listing space for Correction Facilities, Mental Health Facilities, Shelters and any other institution that wishes to have the AA message brought inside of its walls. Please contact NCMCO at (828) 254-8539 or info@wncaa.org. For information onInside the Walls service opportunities in Districts 70, 71, and 80 see https://wncaa.org/index.php/inside-the-walls/
