What is Alcoholics Anonymous?

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their 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 achieve sobriety.

How do members of AA stay sober?

We admit, deep down, that we are powerless over alcohol, and that alone we cannot stay sober. Then we realize, deep down, that there is a power greater than ourselves that can keep us sober. We do certain things (the 12 Steps), keep in contact with one another, and stay away from the first drink, one day at a time. Together we can do what we cannot do alone.
