8. Adult Children of Alcoholics should remain forever non-professional, but our service centers may employ special workers.

A concession that people for specific functions may be needed.

 As I understand it Adult Children of Alcoholics employ people

to pack and post the BRB and workbook. I am fairly sure they

do employ members, which i think is a good thing.

All this is open and up for scrutiny. As a member I have a right

and a duty to check these things out. And having done so to

affirm the integrity of the ACA movement.

I suppose there might be issues around the MIP Adult Children

Anonymous organisation side. My guess that they are regular

routine issues. I do have a tendency as an ACA to look for

"conspiracys". But because I do recovery work day by day

the need to find faults in other things almost goes away.

I am a junior, learning member here. I am happy to play my part

in group work- and appreciate the work that goes on behind

the scenes.

Thanks James,
