I am interested in hearing members experience with the service structure of their homegroups. My former home group is a double header on Friday night, Open discussion from 6:30-7:30 ussually about 50 people, open speaker from 8-9 ussually 10-15 people. My observation and experience is this, 2% of the people do 100% of the work and keep the jobs for years, Occassionaly someone will show up to the business meeting, take a job, and then not do it. So, after months of prayer and meditation asking God for guidance I stepped down from the treasurer position which I have held for a few years.Tonight I announced my resignation, stating
rent needs to be paid, books bought, chips, bought, etc.. Nobody stepped up.As I said in the meeting, this is in your hands now, and ultimately God's.

So, for folks who have functional homegroups, what is your experience? My group has destroyed itself from within, Bill Wilson wrote extensively about this, see my blog on tradition for a more comprehensive overview of the importance of tradition. On A happier note, a few of us have formed a primary purpose group, we follow tradition and study the big book, we have quite a few commitments to detox units and treatment facilites, this is the fellowship I seek.
