Preamble
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 AA membership; we are self-supporting through our
own contributions. AA 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 help other alcoholics to
achieve sobriety.
