Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a community of people who come together to share their experiences, challenges, and victories, so that no one has to face alcoholism alone. Through mutual support, we find strength and hope, and we help each other on the path to recovery.

Membership is open to anyone who has the desire to stop drinking—nothing more is required. There are no dues or fees; AA is fully supported by the voluntary contributions of its members.

AA does not belong to any political group, religious organization, or outside institution. We stay free of controversy and do not take sides on issues.

Our one primary purpose is simple: to stay sober and to help others find freedom in sobriety.
