Welcome
TGI530 Online is a group of Alcoholics Anonymous that meets daily via Zoom. We are part of a worldwide fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other so that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. We are not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization, or institution. We do not wish to engage in any controversy, and we neither endorse nor oppose any causes.
Newcomers are always welcome here. If you have a desire to stop drinking, you have found the right place. We look forward to meeting you!

"Practical experience shows that nothing will so much insure immunity from drinking as intensive work with other alcoholics."Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 89
Service Opportunities
TGI530 has many opportunities for members to participate in service. Service is the foundation of our group and helps keep all of us sober. Each of our daily meetings has four opportunities: Meeting Host, AV Host, Secretary, and Greeter/Timer.
Service commitments are 4 months in length and begin April 1st, August 1st, and December 1st. For additional information, please reach out to the general TGI530 email or to anyone currently in service.

Contributions
Our group depends on the voluntary contributions of members to help cover the expenses of carrying the message online. These expenses are our Zoom subscription, literature we distribute to newcomers at no cost, and physical chips. Because of the generous contributions of our members we are able to keep our daily meeting place available to alcoholics seeking recovery.
Contributions may be made using any of the methods below.
If you have any questions, or would like help with contributing by any other means, please contact the group treasurer, John E., at dcjohnny@hotmail.com.

Sponsorship
Sponsorship is one of the cornerstones of recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous. A sponsor is a sober member of A.A. who shares their experience, strength, and hope with another member who is working to achieve and maintain sobriety. The relationship between a sponsor and sponsee is one of the most powerful tools available in this program.
Working with a sponsor provides personal guidance through the Twelve Steps, accountability, and a living example that recovery is possible. Sponsors give freely what was freely given to them — it is an act of service that strengthens both the giver and the receiver.
If you are looking for a sponsor, we encourage you to reach out during or after any of our meetings, or contact one of our Sponsor Liaisons below. They can help connect you with a willing sponsor in our group.
