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.
