Join Suggestion

Why don't you join us or log in?

Any portion of our actual forum requires joining/signing in so that we can protect our site and our members to be only working with members of our community (all are either members of AA or are working in support of AA committees or organizations). While you don’t have to join to reach all information we’ve published to the public, we encourage all who want to join our community (and meet our requirements to either be an AA member or in some service to AA organizations), please come and share your experience, strength and hope…

If you’re already a member of tiaa-forum.org, follow this link to sign in or change your password.

We welcome all to our community and hope you’ll find useful information here as well as opportunities to share your questions and experiences in either carrying our message of recovery or supporting those individuals and organizations who carry our message.

While many of us are used to using and supporting technology, a lot of us “have no clue” around computers and devices.

We range in recovery time and service from a few days to multiple decades.

We range in responsibility from average members to District and Area officers, committee chairs and members, from Intergroup Staff to Trustee – all are welcome and encouraged to share.

Once you submit this form (or send an email to info@tiaa-forum.org, if you prefer), you will receive an invitation from one of our site administrators.

That email will include a link and instructions as to how to select your forum name and get started in our community.

Welcome!

Instructions for completing this form

Name (required):

The name you use here is not verified and only used to control for spam and bot submissions. It will not be tied to your account. You can create and edit a profile disclosing the account name and information you wish to expose to the community (not publicly visible outside the forum) when and after you join.

Email (required):

Email where the invitation to join will be sent. This will also become a default primary way of logging in or recovering your password. We recommend a personal email address (e.g. your_name@example.com) instead of a “positional” email address (e.g. webmaster@your_intergroup.org) unless you intend for you membership to rotate with the person holding the position in the future. This email address can be changed after you join if you wish to change it by editing your profile information.

Affirmation (required):

By the group conscience of the members, this forum is only open to members of AA and those non-members of AA supporting AA services (e.g. Intergroup offices, AA service structure, etc.).

Topic interests (required):

If you are interested in conversations in more than one  technical topic area (e.g. web sites, answering services, virtual meetings, etc.) or have a general curiosity about AA discussions in general (e.g. topics above and beyond technology like committees and group dynamics), you would probably want to select the default “General” option.

If your primary interest is in Archives only, you probably want to select the “Archives” option. Note that with either option, you will still have access to all topics on the forum but with the “Archives” option, your “home screen” will automatically place you in the “Archives” category where most of those conversations happen.
