Before there were meeting schedules, the AA pioneers helped newcomers through The Steps as quickly as possible so that they could begin to help others. We follow the path of the early days of AA and actually work all of The Twelve Steps over the course of four weeks.
We will be listening to a powerful audio presentation by Paul Fischer who has facilitated a series of Back to Basics meetings.
Back to Basics sessions have been held continuously on the west side of Cleveland, every quarter, since January 2008. Quarterly sessions are held in January, April, July and October of each year, usually beginning on the first Thursday of each month and continuing the following 3 Thursdays.

Cooperation with the Professional Community Meeting
2023-04-17 18:00 - 19:00 | A.A. Cleveland District Office, 1557 St Clair Ave, NE, Cleveland, OH, 44114, United States
Come Join Us Every 3rd Monday at 6:00 pm at the Cleveland District Office✕

Cooperation with the Professional Community (CPC)
Members of C.P.C. committees inform professionals and future professionals about A.A.— what we are, where we are, what we can do, and what we cannot do. They attempt to establish better communication between A.A.s and professionals, and to find simple, effective ways of cooperating without affiliating. — Reprinted from www.aa.org, with permission of A.A. World Services, Inc.
The purpose of our committee is to provide information on A.A. to professionals who may come in contact with the still suffering alcoholic.
A.A. is considered by many professionals to be a valuable resource for alcoholics who want help. When there is a good working relationship between A.A. members in the community and professionals who come in contact with alcoholics, the afflicted alcoholic is the winner he or she gets the help needed from both.
We are not in competition with these professionals; we have our separate functions. A.A. is not in the business of education, research, medicine, counseling, treatment, prevention, or funding. We simply have a message to carry about a program of recovery for alcoholics.
Anyone interested in joining this service committee is welcome to join us!
This we owe to A.A.’s future; to place our common welfare first; to keep our Fellowship united.
