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.

Alcoholics Anonymous can also be defined as an informal society of more
than 2,000,000 recovered alcoholics in the United States, Canada, and other
countries. These men and women meet in local groups, which range in size from
a handful in some localities to many hundreds in larger communities.
