SJIG & Groups Adopting Digital Methods for 7th Tradition

South Jersey Intergroup

The Seventh Tradition states: “Every A.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.” While contributions cover each group’s rent and other expenses, the Seventh Tradition is essential at every level of A.A. service. It is both a privilege and a responsibility for groups and members to ensure that not only their group, but also their intergroup/central office, local services, district, area, and the General Service Office remain self-supporting. This keeps A.A. free of outside influences that might divert us from our primary purpose — to help the alcoholic who still suffers. The amount of our contribution is secondary to the spiritual connection that unites all groups around the world.

South Jersey Intergroup does not recommend any digital wallet service over another and do not know which services cost money to use, what fees they may have attached, or anything else. Each group decides which service(s) to go with. If your group decides on a virtual payment method, please share with us your account handle, email address, or payment link and we will publish it with your group’s meetings.
