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.

Thought to Ponder . . .
Let it begin with me.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
E S H = Experience, Strength and Hope.

A Member Shares:
Hello!  Welcome to AA!  if you are new, or coming back ... "AA Works!"  I'm Charlie J. and I have Alcoholism.  I can share my experience, strength and hope about the actual program of Alcoholics Anonymous, how I worked to apply the Twelve Steps, and what the results have been.  I can also share the mistakes I have made along the way, with the hope others will not have to step into the same emotional mine fields I did.  Sharing my personal experience, strength and hope is the greatest gift I have to offer others in Alcoholics Anonymous.  It is my path to recovery.  Making any need for editorial prowess unnecessary, as sharing my ESH is a big enough job all by itself.  Thank you.
