Southern Delaware Intergroup
of
Alcoholics Anonymous

AA Preamble

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women
who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other
that they may solve their common problem
and help others to recover from alcoholism.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.

There are no dues or fees for AA membership;
we are self-supporting through our own contributions.

AA 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.

    A Declaration of Unity

This we owe to A.A.s future;
  to place our common welfare first;
    to keep our Fellowship united.
      For on A.A. unity depend our lives,
        and the lives of those to come.

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