What does H&I do?

We book AA speaking commitments for different facilities, ranging from Rehabs, Psych Units, MICA units, Hospitals and Institutions. Carrying the message to those in Hospitals and Institutions is a great way of getting into service. IT’S IMPORTANT THAT YOU CONTACT US TO TAKE THE COMMITMENT – WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE MULTIPLE GROUPS SHOW UP FOR THE SAME COMMITMENT. Individuals are always welcome to book H & I speaking commitments either in person, by phone, or by email.

What is the amount of sobriety time needed?

It is suggested 90 days of sobriety. We suggest individuals to have a home group and sponsor if they are interested in speaking.

** If you don’t have 90 days of sobriety and you are still interested in helping, you can always host a commitment.

What is a host?

The host is similar to a chairperson for a basic AA meeting. The host opens the meeting and, if for any reason, the speaker(s) do not show they are there to share their experience, strength and hope or run a book meeting (if less than the suggested sobriety time).
