These A. A. Guidelines represent the shared experience of A. A. members and groups throughout the service areas in the United States and Canada. They also reflect guidance given through the Twelve Traditions and the General Service Conference (U.S. and Canada). In keeping with our Tradition of autonomy, except in matters affecting other groups or A A. as a whole, most decisions are made by the group conscience of the members involved. The purpose of these Guidelines is to assist in reaching an Informed group conscience.

The secretary of the Dublin Group was reading a letter from an Iowa A A. One of the newer members of the Dublin Group listened attentively enough but with a surprised look on his face. When the secretary had finished the letter, this member asked: "Why, have they got A A. in America?"
