Every contribution helps—thank you for your support!

Post Business Convention Literature announcements:

• Daily Reflections (A.A.) was adopted by the World Service Business Conference (WSBC) as Conference-Approved Literature. This action supports the FA newcomer, and all members, by honoring the spiritual diversity of our membership and ensuring that our literature supports all who seek recovery, regardless of their religious beliefs. The Daily Reflections reader is available for purchase and digital download wherever A.A. Big Book and Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions are sold.
• The revised “Some Thoughts on Sponsoring” has been approved by the WSBC. Written in a “frequently asked questions” format, the revised edition offers suggestions for how to handle many of the different situations a sponsor might encounter as they navigate their sponsorship journey. A key revision is the emphasis that sponsors are not medical professionals and should not offer advice or suggestions regarding any medical issue. The revised pamphlet will be available for purchase in the FA Store soon.
• An audio version of the Living Abstinently: A Guide to the FA Tools booklet is now available online! 
• To support development of more resources like literature, donate here.
