CAFAA Safety Statement
Safety is a topic within CAFAA that groups and members can address. Developing workable solutions to help keep meetings safe can be based on the principles of A.A., our predecessor recovery program. In discussions about safety, keep the focus on our primary purpose, our common welfare, and placing principles before personalities.
CAFFA membership does not include having to tolerate sexual harassment, threats of violence, financial coercion, or bullying. Nor is pressuring A.A. members into a particular point of view or belief relating to medications, religion and other outside issues acceptable. No one should have to tolerate racial, sexual orientation, gender, age or other discrimination when they seek help from CAFFA. Crosstalk and critical references of other fellows during meetings is not permitted. Predatory behaviours and unwanted sexual advances are in conflict with carrying the CAFAA message of recovery using AA’s principles and traditions.
Tradition 10 states: CAFFA has no opinion on outside issues. This includes medication of any kind for physical or psychiatric conditions. Medical advice should come from a qualified physician.
Tradition Five states: “Each group has but one primary purpose — to carry its message to the caffeine addict who still suffers.” And tradition 3 states “The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using caffeine. We define caffeine sobriety as being abstinent from caffeine and all caffeine containing products.” Any person seeking help with caffeine addiction is welcome at this group. No CAFAA entity determines an individual’s membership in CAFAA.
Tradition One states: “Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon CAFAA unity.” Recognizing the importance of group unity, our group strives to create a safe meeting environment in which caffeine addicts can focus on achieving abstinence from all forms of caffeine. Therefore, if any person endangers another individual or disrupts the group’s efforts to carry CAFAA’s message, the group may ask that person to leave the meeting.
Suggested Group Safety Statement
It is this group’s conscience that if any person endangers another individual or disrupts the group’s efforts to carry CAFAA’s message, the group may ask that person to leave the meeting. This group strives to safeguard the anonymity of CAFAA members and attendees; however, keep in mind that anonymity in CAFAA is not a cloak for unsafe and illegal behavior. Addressing such behavior and/or contacting the proper authorities when appropriate, does not go against any Traditions and is meant to ensure the safety of all in attendance.
If you feel unsafe or unwelcome at CAFFA you can:
- Speak with a sponsor, trusted friend or fellow member and/or a professional.
- Raise the issue for discussion at your group conscience meeting.
- Contact your Group service Representative (GSR) or Central Service Committee (CSC) for local shared experience.
- If you are experiencing violence or criminal behaviour, contact the police
