The General Service Association grants ABA members permission to download and make copies of the documents below. We ask that members do not alter any of the documents as they are copyrighted. Thank you.
In the spirit of the 7th Tradition the General Service Association is requesting a financial contribution for each document that an ABA member prints or downloads from this page. By making a donation you are supporting the ongoing production of valuable literature that supports the recovery of ABA members worldwide.
On the payment page there’s a line that states “ABA Member or Group?” Please click on it to type in which meeting/group the donation is from or, if from an individual, just write ‘ABA member’.
