We are glad you are here, especially newcomers. This is an "Alcoholics Anonymous" website.
Our primary purpose is to stay sober and to help other alcoholics achieve sobriety. 'Our only requirement for membership is our 3rd
tradition, a desire to stop drinking'. If you do have a desire to stop drinking and you have come here to learn about our way of life
or, if you have come simply seeking AA fellowship, then we welcome you!
AA - Australia Unity Recovery Group meetings offers daily
online AA meetings and a general discussion forum. Please take time out to read our simple guidelines etc. regarding our GC decisions.
In becoming a member, you agree to adhere to the those decisions and discussion format. They continue to apply at all times during
meetings or open chat!.
In the spirit of AA, love and tolerance, AA - Australia Meetings may contain many diverse points of view
regarding alcoholism and Alcoholics Anonymous from visitors especially those unfamiliar with our fellowship. Some discussions may
often be offensive or controversial. AA - Australia attempts to maintain as free and open of an AA meeting place as possible. In accordance
with the first AA tradition "Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon AA unity", if you have come to carry
any message directly opposed to the AA method of recovery, we suggest you seek a more appropriate site. This is an AA group that encourages
everyone to carry the message of hope that AA offers, and posts or shares that attack the very nature of AA will not be allowed to
continue. Also, continual and intentional disruption of the online AA meetings and discussion forums will not be tolerated and will
result in loss of attendance privileges.
Please be respectful of each other and for those not aware, Paltalk is our landlord,
we are their tenants.
Abusiveness or insults towards others won't be tolerated here. Share your own inventories, please dont
take others.
Sexual harassment, vendetta's, stalking or making prejudicial comments toward another member is considered abusive.
Please
remember, Principles before Personalities. If you are having a personal problem with someone in our online AA community, please try
to resolve it privately. If you have tried to address it one on one without any resolution forthcoming send us an IM or email and
we will take appropriate course of action.
Please avoid the use of neon or brightly colored fonts in the meeting room as these
colors are very hard on the eyes.
Don't spam the chat room. Think of your buddies plus, your own character comes under scrutiny
as a result of it.
Taping (Cam's, cameras or audio recorders) of our room or any speakers without specific permission will not
be tolerated...Breaking anonymity is contradicting our traditions, consequently, any offenders will be removed immediately!
Posting
links to other groups outside AA is not permitted with out consulting an admin first.
If someone is sending you unwanted whispers
or messages put them on ignore and contact us immediately.
NB Recommendations passed on from the Australian GSO on behalf
of all AA groups Board Recommendation 1-2/99: "The Board recommends that barring a problem person from an AA meeting does not constitute
barring from AA, but is rather applying Tradition 1 and putting the common welfare of members first". If the matter deteriorates,
a Restraining Order should be obtained and, should the order be violated, police assistance should be sought.
Thanks for taking
the time to read this as it is for your security and helps us stay aligned with ourTraditions
By entering the room I agree to
abide by the guidelines of the group as determined by our 'Group Conscience'.
