Coastal Bend Intergroup
Mission
The Mission of the Coastal Bend Intergroup Association is to provide the vital 1st contact to the alcoholic seeking help. The CBIA Office must be maintained for the benefit of those still suffering. Of primary importance to this goal, the CBIA office is to establish a 24-hour telephone help-line, print meeting schedules, and maintain a 12-step list whereby AA Groups and individuals are enabled to conduct 12-Step calls which are essential to the growth of AA in the Coastal Bend Area.
