WELCOME TO AREA 34 GENERAL SERVICE
The “Meaning” of General Service: Today, there are approximately 2 million members of Alcoholics Anonymous, represented in 125,000 groups spread across approximately 180 countries. More than 40 million copies of our basic text Alcoholics Anonymous have been distributed in over 70 languages. Indeed, A.A. has come a long way since the May day in 1935 when our co-founders, Dr. Bob and Bill W., met for the very first time. So how is it that Alcoholics Anonymous has grown into the worldwide Fellowship that we see today?
The obvious answer is that many people have found sobriety through A.A.’s program of recovery.
But there’s another reason, too: general service.
