                         4,2AA 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 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 other causes.
.
4,2Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other
4,2alcoholics achieve sobriety.
.
At this time we will read a portion of Chapter 5 from the
Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, entitled "How it Works".
