Workbook Group Lists
Periodically, one of our meetings starts a group that works through one of the following books. Although these books can be completed individually, working through them with a group can bring deeper meaning to the material.
Twelve Steps Workbook
This workbook contains readings and exercises that guide you through the 12 Steps one by one. It is usually suggested as the first workbook to complete with a sponsor or small group.
Laundry Lists Workbook
Many ACA members recognize difficult personal traits they would like to examine. This book guides you through integrating these traits rather than trying to avoid or discard them.
Loving Parent Guidebook
Some ACA members think of themselves as having different inner parts, including an inner child, teen, critical parent, and loving parent. This book guides you in accessing your loving inner parent and allowing that part to take the lead.

“In areas where many ACA meetings exist, an Intergroup is generally formed to provide a forum for conducting ACA business within a given geographical area.
The individual groups continue to conduct their own group business; however, the groups can select a meeting representative to represent the group at an Intergroup meeting.
The Intergroup, therefore, is composed of members from the various ACA groups. The Intergroup helps coordinate helpline functions, public information efforts, hospitals and institutions meetings, and ACA events in a given area.”
