Elections

Heartland Intergroup invites members who have found strength and hope through recovery to consider stepping forward to stand for the positions of Chair or Vice Chair. Service is one of the ways we carry the message and express our gratitude for the fellowship that has helped us along the way. By standing for a position, you have an opportunity to share your time, experience, and strength while helping strengthen the recovery community and make it possible for others to find the same hope, connection, and support.

Heartland Intergroup will be holding elections for the board positions of Chair and Vice Chair during the group representative meeting that will be held at 6 p.m. on November 9, 2026. To stand for either position, two years of continuous sobriety when placed in nomination is required.

It Works, If You Work It

Comments on Wylie Ideas

“It doesn’t matter too much how the transforming spiritual experience is brought about so long as one gets one that works ... Somehow the alcoholic must get enough objectivity about himself to abate his fears and collapse his false pride.” AA Co-Founder, Bill W., September 1944, “Comments on Wylie Ideas,” The Language of the Heart Copyright © The AA Grapevine, Inc.  Reprinted with permission.  All rights reserved.  To subscribe to AA Grapevine, please visit https://www.aagrapevine.org

AA Books

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) books are foundational texts that support individuals in recovery from alcoholism. The most well-known is “Alcoholics Anonymous,” often called The Big Book, which outlines the AA program, including the Twelve Steps, personal recovery stories, and the principles of the fellowship. Other key AA publications, like Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions and Daily Reflections, offer guidance, spiritual insight, and daily encouragement to help members maintain sobriety and grow in recovery.

2

Medallions

AA medallions, also known as sobriety chips or tokens, are small coins given to members of Alcoholics Anonymous to celebrate milestones in their recovery journey. They typically mark lengths of sobriety—such as 24 hours, months, or years—and serve as a symbol of encouragement, commitment, and personal achievement in staying sober one day at a time.

3

AA Pamphlets

AA pamphlets are informational booklets published by Alcoholics Anonymous to help members and the public better understand the AA program. They cover a wide range of topics, including the Twelve Steps, sponsorship, spiritual growth, and how AA works. Easy to read and widely distributed, these pamphlets provide support, guidance, and clarity for newcomers, long-time members, and anyone interested in learning more about recovery through AA.
