ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS -

AA is the grandparent of the twelve step recovery movement. The Big Book of AA tells the story of how many thousands of men and women have recovered from alcoholism.

"Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety."

"Surely you will meet some of us as you trudge the road of happy destiny..."
