BRIDGING THE GAP


Bridging the Gap is a temporary contact program to help “Bridge the Gap” between a person released from a Correctional or Treatment facility and A.A. meetings. A volunteer is not a sponsor, although they may sponsor the person if they choose to.

It is suggested that the temporary contact take the newcomer to a variety of A.A. meetings; introduce him or her to other A.A.’s; insure that he or she has the phone numbers of several A.A. members, and share the experience of sponsorship and a home group.

Your information will NEVER be given to the prospective A.A. A Bridging the Gap committee member will contact you with the newcomer’s name and information. It is up to you to make the contact. We only ask that you please contact the newcomer within 24 hours, and if you can’t, or choose not to contact a certain individual, that you let us know immediately so we can get that person a contact.

For more information, please read A.A. World Services pamphlet P-49 “Bridging the Gap Between Treatment and A.A. Through Temporary Contact Programs”.
