The Newcomers Committee provides support to people wishing to stop drinking. A beginner may also be referred to as a newcomer. Support is provided in a variety of ways.
The Newcomer’s Committee sponsors a unique newcomer’s meeting on Tuesdays at 700 pm.
The meeting provides basic information about alcoholism, AA, and myths about AA. We have also created a landing page for newcomers, accessible from the EBI homepage. We get approximately 15-20 newcomers each week; several people with less than 24 hours of sobriety and/or at their first meeting ever.
The primary purpose of East Bay Intergroup
is to help inform the greater community about A.A. and alcoholism so that those who need help can find recovery from alcoholism.
Eastbay Intergroup is an organization created and sustained by A.A. groups in the San Francisco East Bay.
