Other 12-Step Fellowships
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.
The exercise of our Traditions (specifically Traditions Six, Ten and Eleven) prohibit our group and website from endorsing other organizations, public or private.
Tradition 6. An A.A. group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the A.A. name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
Tradition 10. Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the A.A. name ought never be drawn into public controversy.
Tradition 11: Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.
And, as we have gratefully found the 12-Steps to be a solution for our common problem, we are willing to share links to 12-Step Fellowships that may help persons with problems other than alcohol. We encourage you to read the pamphlet “Problems Other than Alcohol”, A.A. Founder Bill W.’s thoughts on the status of other types of addicts within A.A. .
