This is the official web site for
the District 15/ Intergroup located within
Area 1
(Alabama/Northwest Florida). District 15 is located in the Florida
Panhandle and covers both Bay and Gulf counties. The primary purpose of this web site is
to carry the message of A.A. For those seeking a meeting, we have provided
our schedule and meeting locations. There is information for those new
to A.A. or those that think they might have a drinking problem. We have
also provided a link to the A.A. General Service Office web site where
additional information on the program of A.A. can be found. If you're a family
member or friend of an alcoholic and their drinking is having an adverse
affect on your life then
Al-Anon can
help; their primary purpose is to help the families of alcoholics.

We've always been very fortunate to have so
many hard working and industrious AA people to serve as
Archivists, Secretaries and GSR's. Back in 1990 a group of
members got together and compiled a history of our area. From
their recollections, group histories and the memories of our
old-timers, came this wonderful history of our area. It
includes our earliest known group, the Panama City Group, formed
in 1941 and runs up to 1990. As you read it, remember that this
was current as of 1990 and that most of the meetings cited have
now been changed, some of them many times over!

A
History of District 15
A History of District 15
This brief history is for A.A. members, their families, and their friends. It is for
all who are interested to know the history for how AA started in
District 15 of the Alabama/NW Florida Area of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Most members of A.A. will agree that the alcoholic's memory has somewhat, if not to a large degree, suffered irreparable
damage from alcohol. Therefore, there are bound to be some inconsistencies,
omissions, and errors in the compilation of any history pertaining to A.A. Some dates, times, places, and events simply could not be remembered with any degree of accuracy. It
is with this in mind that the preparer of this history apologizes for mistakes which may be found.
-A friend. -March, 1990

AA 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.
