Preamble

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people 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
help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
