12-Step Work

Monthly District Meetings are the second Sunday of each month at 1:30 p.m. at the Gardenia Center in Sandpoint (400 Church Street).



Phone Service Work:
 Local AA members answer the phone. When someone calls our 800.326.2164 phone number, they can choose to hear a listing of meetings or they can choose to talk to an AA member in one of four areas within the district: Washington, Montana, Sandpoint, or Bonners Ferry.  If they choose to speak with an AA member, the call is forwarded directly and simultaneously to AA members who have signed up to receive calls. The AA member then connects the caller with members of AA who have signed up to do 12-step work (women work with women, men work with men).  Read pages 89-103 of the Big Book for specific suggestions in working with newcomers. For more information about how the new phone system works, you can view this flowchart.  

If you have already signed up to answer the phone, please use the phone script as guidance for answering calls.  

If there are others in your household that also answer the phone, it is important that you work with the phone coordinator to have AA calls ring through to your phone only when you will be taking the calls directly.  When someone reaches out for help, it is important to have their calls answered only by AA members who have signed up to take calls, and not have calls into AA answered by family or friends.  

There are two ways you can get involved with 12-step work coming to AA via phone calls.  You can be on the 12-step list or you answer the phone.
 Ask your GSR how to get on the list to answer the phone or be added to the 12-step lists!
