"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."
