What Is 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 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.
