Who We Are

                                      An AA Group
        Traditionally,  Two or more alcoholics meeting together for the purposes of sobriety may consider themselves an A.A. group,  provided that,  as a group they are self-supporting and have no outside affiliation.  Groups listed in this web site are listed at their own request.  A web site listing does not constitute or imply approval or endorsement of any group's approach to or practice of the traditional A.A.program.

                                    What A.A. Does Not Do
        A.A. does not (1) furnish initial motivation for alcoholics to recover,  solicit members or try to persuade anyone to join A.A.;  (2) does not conduct membership drives or try to argue alcoholics into joining;  (3) engage in or sponsor research;  (4) join "councils" of social agencies,  although A.A. members,  groups,  and service offices frequently cooperate with them;  (5) does not check up on its members to see that they do not drink;  (6) make medical or psychological diagnoses or prognoses;  (7)  provide drying out or nursing services,  hospitalization,  drugs or any medical or psychiatric treatment;  (8) offer spiritual or religious services;  (9)  engage in education or propaganda about alcohol;  (10)  provide housing, food, clothing, jobs, money or other welfare or social services;  (11)  provide domestic or vocational counseling;  (12) accept any money for its services,  or any contributions from non A.A. sources.

NOTE: An individual .A. member may do some of these things on a private, personal basis,  but this not part of  A.A. membership.  Many professionals in the field of alcoholism are also A.A. members.  Their professional work however, is NOT a part of their A.A. membership.  A.A. as such does not profess competence to perform professional services such as those listed above.

    God grant me the serenity to
accept the things I cannot change,
      the Courage to change the things I can,
and Wisdom to know the  difference

When anyone, anywhere reaches out for help I want the hand of A.A. to always be there.  And for that I am responsible
