The Definition, or Preamble, of Alcoholics Anonymous

  • 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; neither endorses nor opposes any causes.

  • Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
