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 A.A.
membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. 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.
