Recovery Requirements for Intergroup Serving Officer Roles:
In the spirit of our Twelve Traditions and the principles of service, we invite trusted servants who are grounded in their recovery and willing to support our fellowship at a national level. The following guidelines aim to maintain unity, uphold accountability, and ensure a healthy structure that honours the group conscience.
Recovery Guidelines
To help ensure our national service remains grounded, consistent, and led with care, we ask that potential volunteers have 2 or 3 of the below gently suggested elements.
- Have held a service position at meeting level for at least 6 months and actively engaged in Group Business / Conscious meetings.
- Be actively cultivating emotional sobriety and grounded in an emotionally balanced recovery.
- (Optional, not essential) Have completed the Twelve Steps of ACA, ideally with a sponsor or fellow traveler. Whilst this ideally will have been within ACA, we will consider all recovery from other fellowships as ACA cooperates with all other 12 Step Fellowships.
For reference, ACA defines emotional sobriety as: “Developing self-awareness and learning to recognise, understand, and accept one’s feelings without reverting to childhood survival mechanisms. Emotional sobriety is about progress, not perfection, and involves healthier ways to regulate and express emotions as part of a balanced and fulfilling life.”
All experience will be considered. If you would like to have an informal conversation please reach out to: intergroup@adultchildrenofalcoholics.co.uk
