Solution 62 reflects two guiding ideas: our focus on the Solution to alcoholism—highlighting recovery and practical steps rather than the messiness of the disease—and our commitment to practicing Rule 62 in everything we do: not taking ourselves too seriously, staying humble, and keeping perspective.
Where did “Rule 62” come from?
Where did “Rule 62” come from?
A group from West Virginia was planning on starting a foundation with a club, a hospital, a rehabilitation center and a research center. They wrote to the General Service Office, specifically Bill W., to ask for his opinion. Bill W. wrote back sharing his experience on the matter, saying that most such endeavors had not worked out well. The group decided to proceed anyway. Shortly after, distressing letters began to arrive from West Virginia regarding the progress of the foundation. One of the alcoholics who started with the idea for the foundation wrote out cards and placed them in small envelopes. He then mailed them to groups around the country. On the outside of the card, “Charleston AA Group Rule # 62” was printed. (He meant to imply that there had been 61 other rules.) Written on the inside of the card was, “Don’t take yourself so damn seriously!”
We have our general conscience business meeting the second Monday of each month right after the regular meeting. All are welcome to attend. General Conscience Meeting Minutes:
