What is Alcoholics Anonymous?

We are a Fellowship of men and women who have lost the ability to control our drinking and have found ourselves in various kinds of trouble as a result of drinking. 

​

5 Things to Know About A.A.

1. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.

2. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership.

3. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution.

4. It does not wish to engage in any controversy.

5. It neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

    Is A.A. for You?                                     

• Only you can decide whether you want to give A.A. a try -- whether you think it can help. We who are in A.A. came because we finally gave up trying to control our drinking. We still hated to admit that we could never drink safely.  Then we heard from other A.A. members that we were sick. (We thought so for years!). We found out that many people suffered from the same feelings of guilt and loneliness and hopelessness that we did.  We found out that we had these feelings because we had the disease of alcoholism.

• If I go to an A.A. meeting, does that commit me to anything? No. A.A. does not keep membership files or attendance records. You do not have to reveal anything about yourself. 

• What happens at an A.A. meeting? An A.A. meeting may take one of several forms, but at any meeting you will find alcoholics talking about what drinking did to their lives and personalities, what actions they took to help themselves, and how they are living their lives today.
