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 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."

Step One
We admitted we were powerless
over alcohol, that our lives had
become unmanageable.
![Page 56: The History of Alcoholics Anonymous](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/552582e94a7959da488b4c84/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Step Two
Came to believe that a Power
greater than ourselves could
restore us to sanity.
![Page 57: The History of Alcoholics Anonymous](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/552582e94a7959da488b4c84/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Step Three
Made a decision to turn our will
and our lives over to the care of
God as we understood Him
![Page 58: The History of Alcoholics Anonymous](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/552582e94a7959da488b4c84/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Step Four
Made a searching and fearless
moral inventory of ourselves.
![Page 59: The History of Alcoholics Anonymous](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/552582e94a7959da488b4c84/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Step Five
Admitted to God, to ourselves,
and to another human being the
exact nature of our wrongs.
![Page 60: The History of Alcoholics Anonymous](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/552582e94a7959da488b4c84/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Step Six
Were entirely ready to have God
remove all these defects of
character.
![Page 61: The History of Alcoholics Anonymous](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/552582e94a7959da488b4c84/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Step Seven
Humbly asked Him to remove
our shortcomings.
![Page 62: The History of Alcoholics Anonymous](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/552582e94a7959da488b4c84/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Step Eight
Made a list of all persons we had
harmed, and became willing to
make amends to them all.
![Page 63: The History of Alcoholics Anonymous](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/552582e94a7959da488b4c84/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Step Nine
Made direct amends whenever
possible, except when to do so
would injure them or others.
![Page 64: The History of Alcoholics Anonymous](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/552582e94a7959da488b4c84/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Step Ten
Continued to take personal
inventory and when we were
wrong promptly admitted it.
![Page 65: The History of Alcoholics Anonymous](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/552582e94a7959da488b4c84/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Step Eleven
Sought through prayer and
meditation to improve our
conscious contact with God as
we understood Him, praying only
for knowledge of His will for us
and the power to carry that out.
![Page 66: The History of Alcoholics Anonymous](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/552582e94a7959da488b4c84/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Step Twelve
Having had a spiritual awakening
as a result of these steps, we
tried to carry this message to
alcoholics, and to practice these
principles in all our affairs.

The Twelve Traditions
1. Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon A.A. unity.
2. For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority - a loving God as He may express
Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.
3. The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking.
4. Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or A.A. as a whole.
5. Each group has but one primary purpose-to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.
6. An A.A. group ought never endorse, finance or lend the A.A. name to any related facility or outside
enterprise, lest problems of money, property and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
7. Every A.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.
8. Alcoholics Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers may employ 8. Alcoholics Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers may employ
special workers.
9. A.A., as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly
responsible to those they serve.
10. Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the A.A. name ought never be drawn
into public controversy.
11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain
personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and films.
12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before
personalities.
