Area 56 Information

Next Area 56 Meeting 02/19/2012

Preamble of A.A

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.

Can Anyone go to an A.A. Meeting? What are Open & Closed Meetings?

The purpose of all A.A. group meetings is for A.A. members to share their experience,

strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.

A.A. groups hold both open and closed meetings.

Closed meetings are for those who have a desire to stop drinking. 

Open meetings are for anyone interested in the A.A. program of recovery from alcoholism. 

At meetings, the A.A. chairperson  will ask that participants confine their discussion to recovery from alcoholism.

Whether open or closed, A.A. meetings are led by A.A. members.

Step, Tradition & Concept of the Month: January

Step 1

We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.

Tradition 1 (Short Form)

Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon A.A. unity.

Concept I (Short Form)

Final responsibility and ultimate authority for A.A. world services should always reside in the collective conscience of our whole Fellowship.
