Northeastern Maryland Intergroup of AA

Our Only Qualification

"We in A.A. know what it's like to be addicted to alcohol...Our only qualification for helping others to recover from alcoholism is that we have stopped drinking ourselves; and problem drinkers coming to us know that recovery is possible because they see people who have done it."

A Newcomer Asks, p. 2
