A Program of Action

Becoming a member of AA is important in recovery. Making that first step to admitting you have a problem is one of the hardest steps you will ever have to take. And then there are twelve more? The pressures can be unbearable, but it gets a lot easier knowing you don’t have to do it alone. There is help and hope for you; you just have to be willing to accept it.

From "Who Is a Member of Alcoholics Anonymous?"

"Our AA door stands wide open, and if he passes through it and commences to do
anything at all about his problem, he is considered a member of Alcoholics Anonymous.
He signs nothing, agrees to nothing, promises nothing. We demand nothing...

"We do not wish to deny anyone his chance to recover from alcoholism. We wish to be
just as inclusive as we can, never exclusive."

c. 1988, The Language of the Heart, page 39
