Tradition Seven: "Every AA Group ought to be fully self supporting, declining outside contributions."

"Self-support begins with me, because I am part of us — the group. We pay our rent and utility bills, buy coffee, snacks and A.A. literature. We support our central office, our area committee, and our General Service Office. If it were not for those entities, many new people would never discover the miracles of A.A.” - Self-Support Where Money and Spirituality Mix
