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 an honest desire to stop drinking.

​

AA has no dues or fees.

​

It 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.
