AA Asia Oceania Service Meeting
8th AOSM
24- 26 July 2009 Bangkok Thailand
AOSM is a zonal meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) The AOSM meeting was created to share experience, strength and hope among the participating countries helping them to establish, grow and unify AA in the Asia and Pacific area. Sponsorship of developing countries by more established countries helps to reach the hand of A.A. ever further out to help others to achieve sobriety.
A.A. 's Preamble describes Alcoholics Anonymous as "a Fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism." That process, at the heart of how A.A. . works, happens between individuals, in groups at A.A. meetings, and indeed whenever and wherever sober alcoholics gather.
Held since 1995, the AOSM occurs every two years, rotating throughout the region in odd years.
To participate you must come from a country in the region and represent the group conscience of your country and have no affiliations with any other organizations and practice the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous.
The AOSM Statement of Purpose
The primary purpose of the Asia-Oceania Service Meeting (AOSM) is to carry the message of Alcoholics Anonymous to the alcoholic who still suffers.
The Asia-Oceania Service Meeting seeks ways to accomplish this goal by providing a forum for the delegates to share the experience, strength and hope of the countries they represent and who come together from all parts of Asia and Oceania .
It can also represent an expression of the Group Conscience throughout the region and provide a link to the World Service Meeting for countries unable to be represented there.
Experience has shown that. a sound service structure enables the message to be delivered more effectively. The Asia-Oceania Service Meeting encourages the planning of sound Structures suited to the needs of the individual countries and the expansion of A.A. services to reach the alcoholic through the spoken word, literature and institutions work. The AOSM recognizes that it has no authority over any A.A. service or group. The only decisions to be made by the AOSM are those which affect the meeting itself.
I am responsible
When anyone, anywhere reaches out for help,
I want the hand of A.A. to be there
And for that, I am responsible. .
