Alcoholism Recovery Program is for Everyone

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.

In AA, our experience is that none of us can recover alone, but that together we can.

AA does not diagnose anyone with a drinking problem.

“We do not like to pronounce any individual as alcoholic, but you can quickly diagnose yourself.”

AA was the first alcoholism recovery program that recognized the importance of self-admission or self- diagnosis for those suffering with a drinking problem.

Self-identification is the First Step of the Twelve Step recovery program.

If you think you have a problem with your drinking, if you cannot stop drinking on your own, ask yourself these simple questions:

Can you control how much you drink every time you drink?

Can you quit drinking and stay away from alcohol entirely on your own self-will?

If you answer “no” to either of these questions, and would like help, please take action.
