Alcoholics Anonymous is a worldwide fellowship of sober alcoholics whose recovery is based on Twelve Steps. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees. A.A. is self-supporting through small, voluntary contributions from our members. A.A. neither seeks nor accepts outside funding. Our members observe personal anonymity at the public level.
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.
