What is Alcoholics Anonymous?

"We are a fellowship of men and women who have lost the ability to control our drinking and have found ourselves in various kinds of trouble as a result of drinking. We attempt - most of us successfully - to create a satisfying way of life without alcohol. For this we find we need the help and support of other alcoholics in A.A."

A Newcomer Asks, p. 1

Final Thought:

"That's the miracle of it. We are not fighting it, neither are we avoiding temptation. We have not even sworn off. Instead, the problem has been removed. It does not exist for us. We are neither cocky nor are we afraid."
