Alcoholics Anonymous - District 1 - Area 36

District expenses are increasing. Please consider regular contributions. Within suggested AA guidelines, individual and group contributions are appreciated. Thank you for your support. Contact

Tradition of the Month

Tradition 9 - AA, as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.

Concept of the Month

Concept 9 - Good service leadership at all levels is indispensable for our future functioning and safety. Primary world service leadership, once exercised by the founders, must necessarily be assumed by the trustees.

AA gets its name from the book, "Alcoholics Anonymous" now in its fourth printing. Click here to go to AA's World Headquarters in New York

AA Preamble

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 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. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
