to me this is a violation of our singleness of purpose and a number of our traditions. if we keep trying to help all people we will surely go the way of the Washintonian's and the Oxford groups which means we will fail.
Very well said, you are a man after my own heart, and many times I have written about that problem here.
In my own area we have a few attendees whose primary problem was cocaine, they were not court appointed and we welcome them providing they don't talk about drugs. They do seem to get more out of AA meetings, (they have said as much), than they do out of NA. I am very strict in my views on this subject, because if NA or any other of the many 12 step programs are badly organized, or basically suck due to a bunch of kids being the main attendees, that is not AA's problem. And the message should be get your house in order and improve your own meetings, don't come to ours which
might negatively affect the chances of the alcoholic our primary purpose says we were designed to serve.
If I were a member of your group I would have voted not to sign the cards as well, this would send a message to the courts to make alternative arrangements. The document I put a link to I believe makes no mention of drug offenders, I would put my head on a block to say that no GSO document says we should cooperate with courts who send drug users.
So I sympathize greatly with the position you have found yourself in, I lobbied at the intergroup level in my area to even stop accepting court referrals for drunk drivers. The GSO document shows how these can be exposed to the program via separate meetings held in a room at the court house, and since they are also made to attend defensive driving lectures, we made an arrangement to have AA volunteer members address them there. So those who might be alcoholic and not just weekend warriors, are able to hear about our program and be given literature handouts. Perhaps you can find a way to resolve this, best of luck in doing so.
