What an AA Member Reads is His Own Business

A formal statement concerning the Conference, the G.S.O, and what AA members read was issued by the General Services Office of AA in 1978.

“WHAT CONFERENCED-APPROVED MEANS” GSO Box 4-5-9 1978 (Volume 23, No 4) AA’s General Service Office said: “It does not mean the Conference disapproves of any other publications. Many local A.A. central offices publish their own meeting lists. A.A. as a whole does not oppose these, any more than A.A. disapproves of the Bible or any other publications from any source that A.A.’s find useful. What any A.A. member reads is no business of G.S.O., or of the Conference, naturally.”
