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 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.

Bill W. said in his 1960 talk called AA in an era of change at the 10th Annual GSC, “We live in an era of change. Our Twelve Steps probably won’t change; The Traditions, not at all likely. But our manner of communication, our manner of organizing ourselves for function, for service – let us hope that this goes on changing for the better, forever.”  … “We reference the past and its lessons for so long as those teachings work. When they don’t we re-adapt and we re-shift. That has been our history.”   

We realize we know only a little. God will constantly disclose more to you and to us.

I am responsible.
When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help,
I want the hand of A.A. always to be there.
And for that: I am responsible.
