Alcoholics Anonymous is a worldwide fellowship of men and women who help each other to stay sober. They offer the same help to anyone who has a drinking problem and wants to do something about it. |
 |
This leaflet is intended for people approaching Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) for the first time. In it we have tried to answer the questions most frequently in the minds of newcomers - the questions which were in our minds when we first approached the fellowship. |
 |
Only you can decide whether you want to give A.A. a try - whether you think it can help you. We who are in A.A. came because we finally gave up trying to control our drinking. We found out that many people suffered from the same feelings of guilt and loneliness and hopelessness that we did. |
 |
No one is too young to have a problem with alcohol. That's because alcoholism is an illness. It can hit anyone. Young, old. Rich, poor. Black, white. To help you decide whether you have a problem with your own drinking, we've prepared these questions. |
 |
At this moment, people all over the world are thinking that A.A. probably won't work in their case. Perhaps you are one of these people. We in A.A. believe alcoholism is a disease that is no respecter of age, sex, creed, race, wealth, occupation, or education. Our experience seems to show that anyone can be an alcoholic. And, beyond question, anyone who wants to stop drinking is welcome in A.A. |
