Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or AA as a whole.

Just as water is essential for natural life, so being filled up with God’s Spirit is essential for spiritual life. 

It’s not our job to “fix anyone” but it is our God given responsibility to look with eyes of compassion and offer to lend a hand to those around us.

It’s not uncommon in our society these days to have our character shaped by isolation and getting our own way in whatever way we can. It's challenging to live in agreement with people who have ideas and ways of doing things that are different from our way.  For healthy relationships to be formed and maintained we need to develop the character quality of co-operation.

Jesus teaches that the most basic hunger in life is the need to know and live as God intends. Whether we admit it or not, the guilt and shame that comes from living life out of sync with God's purposes leaves us feeling edgy and dissatisfied.  We know something is wrong but we're not sure what. God can help us make things right.

God wants us to live free and with dignity even though He knows that we are flawed human beings who need saving. How do we know that we are rescued from our sin and from the destruction that sin causes?  We receive the forgiveness that God offers to anyone who acknowledges their failures and asks for cleansing.
