A.A. Preamble

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people 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 A.A. membership; we are self- supporting through our own contributions. A.A. 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.

Responsibility Statement

“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.

Website Posting Policy

The Area 05 website committee primarily posts information on SCAA and GSO/GSC business, meetings and events. Information on Regional, Area or District General-Service-sponsored events may also be posted. Non-A.A. and non-General-Service information will not be posted. Area policy requires that all information be posted in both Spanish and English. The Translation Committee undertakes translation of materials to be posted, however, publication will be quicker if you can submit event information in both languages.

To have an event listed please send your information to: webchair@area05aa.org.
