You may or may not be familiar with Alcoholics Anonymous, also known as A.A. It is probable you have contact with people who could benefit from A.A. The Committee for Cooperation With the Professional Community and the Public Information Committee for District 19 of Alcoholics Anonymous would like to offer our hand through you to those who may have a drinking problem. With your help, perhaps we can get some of this information to them.
At meetings of A.A., members share their personal recovery experience with others. The A.A. program of recovery as set forth in the Twelve Steps and the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous offers the alcoholic an opportunity to develop a useful and satisfying way of life free from alcohol.
A.A. does not offer medical or psychiatric advice or make diagnoses or prognosis. A.A. does not provide drying out or nursing services, hospitalization, drugs, housing, jobs, money, or other welfare services. A.A. does not accept any money for services or contribution from outside sources. A.A. does not fund outside education, research, or treatment facilities.
Part of our recovery is sharing our experience, strength, and hope in order that we may solve our common problem. Our continued sobriety in large depends upon helping others to recover from this fatal condition.
Should you have questions about A.A. you might like to ask a recovering alcoholic, we would be happy to supply an A.A. contact to meet with you and answer your questions personally. We are also available to introduce those interested in recovering from alcoholism to our fellowship. Please contact us by email at: info@aaspringfield.org
