Bridging the Gap Procedures

  • A confined person with a drinking problem is eligible for this probram when they are within three months of being released. 

  • They fill out a form giving their name, age, gender, and release date along with a phone number and address where released if possible; a general location. 

  • Bridging the Gap Coordinator will match them with a suitable temporary contact, taking into consideration – age, gender, and destination.

  • After selection, the temporary A.A. contact will confirm the request with the new member. 

  • The new member and the temporary contact will then make arrangements to meet after the release date and attend an A.A. meeting together.
