THE
BRONX
MAMARONECK
ACA
INTERGROUP
​
​
​
​
​
Welcome to BMAI, The Bronx Mamaroneck ACA Intergroup website.
​
BMAI is comprised of representatives of the individual, autonomous Adult Children of
Alcoholics/Dysfunctional Families (ACA) groups in The Bronx and Mamaroneck, New York.
​
A trifold describing what "ACA is ..." is here.
​
BMAI's sole function is to serve our groups' primary purpose of carrying the ACA message of recovery
from the effects of being raised in an alcoholic/drug addicted or dysfunctional family to adult children
who still suffer.
The trifold, "25 Questions: Am I an Adult Child?", may help you decide if you could possibly
benefit from attending an ACA meeting.
​
BMAI facilitates communication among the member groups and between our groups and ACA's
World Service Organization, Inc. (ACA WSO), along with other service functions and activities.
​
BMAI is fully self supported by voluntary contributions from member groups, from ACA members,
through hosting fund raising events, and through ACA Literature sales to member groups
(not individual sales) at the usual delivered price.
​
BMAI meets quarterly via teleconference calls. To join BMAI, learn how BMAI functions and
its activities or to purchase ACA Literature, contact Lisa B. (917) 449-1035 or email her at
​
Groups thinking of joining BMAI may want to consider reading Trusted Servant’s Self Guide to Service
