      AA Preamble

      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.
