Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety. However, A.A. keeps no membership roles, and no one is required to give their last name, thus protecting the individuals anonymity. Each group does as it wants to. A ssistance from A.A. extends well beyond its meetings. Members are available at all times to help anyone who is willing to make the effort to stop drinking.
Members are also always ready to help the sober person who is threatened with picking up a drink.
A .A. works and is attested to by a prevailing attitude held by other groups interested in the field of alcoholism. A.A. is at the present time, an extremely successful vehicle for treating the disease of alcoholism.
