Alcoholics Anonymous is Nonprofessional
AA Tradition of Practice and Organisation Number Eight:
Alcoholics Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers may employ special workers.
"It became clear to the early members that no A.A. should ever ask or accept payment for ’carrying this message to somebody else, person to person and face to face.’
"But new questions arose as membership grew and the word of hope spread, sending thousands of alcoholics in search of A.A. The first intergroups or central offices were usually manned by A.A. volunteers; now, most such offices are so busy that full-time employees are needed as well."
c. 1971, The Twelve Traditions Illustrated (A.A. Pamphlet P-43)
And thus was created the AA Sponsor, just for today.
