Taking a group inventory

The Shared Experience Of Al-Anon and Alateen Members.

Taking a periodic group inventory helps to keep your group healthy and invigorated. Members can use the inventory to discuss new service opportunities and address major or minor concerns before the group's unity is disrupted. Listed below are methods for taking a group inventory along with an inventory checklist.

MY PART AS A MEMBER

OF THE GROUP

Do I attend the meetings regularly?

Do I periodically volunteer to lead a meeting?

Do I attend steering or business meetings and offer

ideas for improvement?

Can I accept disagreement and differing points of view

good-naturedly?

Do I volunteer for, or willingly accept, a group office:

group representative, secretary, chairperson, program

chairperson or treasurer?

Am I understanding when personal circumstances

compel some members to limit their group service?

Do I criticize others in the group or gossip about them?

Do I ever repeat anything personal I have heard at

meetings or from another member?

Do I make telephone calls for my personal recovery and

to help others, rather than to complain and gossip?

Do I welcome new members, talk with them, suggest

pieces of Al-Anon/Alateen literature, offer my phone

number or the group's telephone list and local

meeting schedule?

Do I volunteer to sponsor newcomers? Am I presently sponsoring another member?

Do I read Al-Anon/Alateen literature every day, and apply the principles to my daily life? Do I let the group

know which pieces of Conference Approved Literature

(CAL) are particularly helpful as part of my sharing at

meetings?

Do I keep the focus on Al-Anon and my own recovery when I share?

Do I help out before and after meetings by setting up

or putting away tables and chairs, literature and refreshments?

Do I interrupt or carry on a conversation while another member is speaking?

Do I listen carefully to the speakers, the chairperson

and other group members?

Do I avoid giving advice to members?

Do I try to make the fellowship known to others who

need help? Do I participate in group service projects?

When group problems arise, do I focus on the problem or the solution.

I loved this post! I have heard about taking a group inventory before at my home group, on speaker tapes but never have seen it posted before. Thanks for sharing!
