Statement of Purpose
To serve our associated groups in carrying the A.A. message to the still suffering alcoholic according to the principles of the Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions and Twelve Concepts of A.A., always remembering that our common welfare comes first.
So many want to stop but cannot. There is a solution. Millions have solved the drink problem by following suggestions outlined in the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Attending a meeting is a great first step.
We serve our associated groups through various committees at Intergroup. We are always looking for volunteers to help serve on these committees. If you are a member of AA and would like to help, click below.
When it comes to buying your literature, cards and medallions, please support your local Intergroup and purchase these items whenever you can, directly from Intergroup. All items are competitively and fairly priced. Best of all, supporting Intergroup supports local A.A.
We understand the attraction of simplicity and ordering online, however, supporting local groups, is simply more attractive. So until we get an online store set up, head on down and say Hi to the friendly folks at Intergroup. You will be glad you did!
Help Spread the Word!
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.
You are going to meet new friends in your own community. Near you, alcoholics are dying helplessly like people in a sinking ship. If you live in a large place, there are hundreds. High and low, rich and poor, these are future fellows of Alcoholics Anonymous. Among them you will make lifelong friends. You will be bound to them with new and wonderful ties, for you will escape disaster together and you will commence shoulder to shoulder your common journey.

This we owe to A.A.’s future: to place our common welfare first; to keep our fellowship united. For on A.A. unity depend our lives and the lives of those to come.
