In recent years, a larger number of “safe driving” programs have been set up for drivers in trouble with the law because of some episode related to drinking. These programs have many different names — such as Alcohol Safety Action Project (A.S.A.P.), Driving While Intoxicated (D.W.I.), Driving Under the Influence (D.U.I.), and the like. Many A.A. committees that cooperate with these programs offer attendees a chance to learn about A.A., and some are now members of A.A. as a result.

O`ahu Intergroup participates with the The State of Hawaii Judicial Driver Education program which administers a 14-hour, court-ordered DUI program to individuals who are arrested for impaired driving. The course places a great deal of emphasis on personal reflection, speakers are brought in on the second day of class to share their real-world perspectives. Course evaluations have indicated that guest speakers – and particularly the sharing of personal stories – have been one of the most valuable aspects of the course.
Every six weeks or so Intergroup provides a speaker and DUI Coordinator from our Fellowship to the current DUI class. Volunteers are asked to share briefly their experience with their moment of clarity and how Alcoholics Anonymous help them stop drinking. To gain a better understanding of the specific talking points we ask volunteers to read Speaking at Non-A.A. Meetings || P-40 
pamphlet in advance.
From page 89 of the Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous: “Practical experience shows that nothing will so much insure immunity from drinking as intensive work with other alcoholics. It works when other activities fail…. You can help when no one else can…. because of your own drinking experience you can be uniquely useful to other alcoholics. So cooperate; never criticize. To be helpful is our only aim.” Therefore, as long as carrying the message helps those of us already in A.A. maintain our own sobriety, this kind of message carrying is a success. Our responsibility is to make the seed of A.A. freely available. What the sufferer does with it is not our responsibility. Only one “statistic” interests us in A.A. — the next person who may need our help.
