Preamble of 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 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.
