TFC Chair Job Description

TFC Mission Statement: To carry the message of AA to the still-suffering Alcoholic within our Treatment Facilities by mobilizing the volunteer efforts of the AA membership and by providing the resources to do so.

“Practical experience shows that nothing will so much insure immunity from drinking as intensive work with another Alcoholic. It works when other activities fail. This is our twelfth suggestion: Carry this message to other alcoholics! You can help when no one else can. You can secure their confidence when others fail.”

Reprinted from page 89 of the book Alcoholics Anonymous with permission of A.A. World Services, Inc.

Committee Meeting Minutes

Bridge the Gap:  Bridge the Gap is a program through Alcoholics Anonymous to help people leaving a Treatment Facility. This helps the Alcoholic patient become acquainted with AA and attend AA meetings after they are released. 

 

Temporary Contact:  A Temporary Contact is an AA member who assists an Alcoholic patient when they leave a Treatment Facility. It assists the alcoholic leaving the facility to make the transition from "inside" the program to life on the "outside". The contact's primary purpose is to introduce the newcomer to AA meetings close to their home. This creates a "Bridge the Gap" between the facility and outside AA meetings. Assisting the newcomer aids the contact's own sobriety and demonstrates AA's Singleness of Purpose
