A.A. Preamble

Alcoholics Anonymous® is a fellowship of people 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 affiliated 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 achieve sobriety.

Mission Statement

To carry a message of hope, strength and knowledge, through communication of Alcoholics Anonymous Twelve Steps, in an efficient and prudent manner.

We Believe

The Twelve Step message is the primary reason for our deliberations. The General Service Representatives, District Committee Members and Area Officers have the opportunity to share, discuss and receive valuable insight that will be of assistance to local groups.

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