Bullying, harassment and offensive behaviour are negative and unacceptable forms of discrimination that are in conflict with the A.A. Traditions and our way of life in recovery. Any such behaviour will always be taken seriously, and recovered A.A. members will deal with it if and when it arises. Whether or not the behaviour is intended to be hurtful is irrelevant, the important point is that it's offensive. Our members recognise the power of their behaviour in their relationships with other members of the Fellowship and with potential newcomers. Our members understand that the behaviour we choose to adopt influences others. We recognise we have a responsibility to set a good example.

​

Through our members and leaders, we aim to ensure that no member or visitor is subjected to or experiences bullying, harassment or offensive behaviour of any kind.

“Each member of Alcoholics Anonymous is but a small part of a greater whole. A.A. must continue to live or most of us will surely die. Hence our common welfare comes first, but individual welfare follows close afterwards.” (Tradition One long form)
