TPAPN aa

I just wanted to know a question about the aa meetings in tpapn.

im getting ready to start tpapn and if I attend different aa meetings at different times how will tpapn keep track to my leader in aa. Also I thought you remained anonymous in meetings.

Ive sent an email to my case manager but thought I'd ask here in mean time

You have whoever is running the meeting sign at whatever meeting you go to. TPAPN does not expect it to be signed by one designated person. Most meanings have different people running it at different times so I'll have 15 different names on my sheet by the time the month is over.

A leader in AA? Do you mean sponsor? Your sponsor wouldn't be signing your sheet unless your sponsor was running the meeting. There's no sign in sheet for speaking or meeting with your sponsor that you do independently and they don't track that except for your monthly report, on that you just put down the sponsors first name and how many times you've met were called them.

TPAPN doesn't talk to anyone in AA about your attendance. All you do is submit the forms in Affinity. There is a place to upload the hard copy if you scan it, or you can just manually enter them. Not one single time in monitoring have I shown them an actual hard copy of my signatures. I don't think they have time for that. Once you get past 2 years you won't have to submit the meetings anymore, as long as you're compliant with everything and they send you a step down year email. My advice to you is to have a little contact as possible with your case manager!

Good luck and take care.

I completed my 3 years in TPAPN last month and I was never asked to show my sign in sheets, which were signed by someone different at every meeting. I kept the sheets, but I never uploaded them, I just manually entered dates and times of meetings into Affinity.

I also found several meetings at different locations so I had plenty of times to choose from to fit into my schedule. And my case manager gave me permission to attend two in one day, (women's discussion was followed immediately by the speaker night meeting) so I wasn't having to go to a meeting on every single one of my days off work.
