1. A.A. members share their experience with anyone seeking help with a drinking problem; they give person-to-person service or “sponsorship” to the alcoholic coming to A.A. from any source. 2. The A.A. program, set forth in our Twelve Steps, offers the alcoholic a way to develop a satisfying life without alcohol.

All rights reserved. A.A. is not a religious organization. Alcoholics Anonymous has only one requirement for member- ship, and that is the desire to stop drinking. There is room in A.A. for people of all shades of belief and non-belief.

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.

Make medical or psychological diagnoses or prognoses. Provide hospitalization, drugs, or medical or psychiatric treatment. Provide housing, food, clothing, jobs, money or other such services. Provide domestic or vocational counseling.

Alcoholics Anonymous is an international fellowship of men and women who have had a drinking problem. It is nonprofessional, self-supporting, multiracial, apolitical, and available almost everywhere. There are no age or education requirements.

Some members work in these organizations, but always in a personal capacity; never as representatives of Alcoholics Anonymous nor in its name. It does not accept money from outside sources, whether public or private. It does not offer social assistance services. It does not provide housing, food, work, or money.

The answer, based on A.A. experience, is that if you are an alcoholic, you will never be able to control your drinking for any length of time.
