If you have been court-ordered to attend a West Virginia Alcoholics Anonymous addiction recovery program, here are some tips to help you navigate the process. The courts often order regular AA meeting attendance in place of jail time for alcohol-related convictions such as domestic disputes or DWI (driving while intoxicated, referred to as driving while under the influence or DUI in some states). Judges don’t typically assign people to a particular AA group; instead, those who are court-ordered may attend any AA group they choose to join. Under most circumstances, the court requires proof of AA meeting attendance. So, how do you go about getting evidence? Most likely, you have a court-generated card or slip to have signed. Each AA group handles signing the court slip differently. Some groups allow other group members to sign the slip; others assign a specific person (most often the group secretary or other group officer) to sign. The issue surrounding court slips comes down to AA’s Tradition of keeping the group members’ anonymity. When a person signs their name, it announces that they are an AA member. The preferred method of showing proof of AA attendance is self-reporting. Self-reporting maintains the anonymity of the group members while ensuring those court-ordered to treatment stay legally compliant.
