| Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) |
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their
experiences, strengths, and hope with each other so 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; it is self supporting through its own
contributions. AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics,
organization, or institution. It does not wish to engage in any
controversy; it neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Its primary
purpose is for its members to stay sober and to help other alcoholics to
achieve sobriety. |
