Preamble<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people 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.<\/p>\r\n

Other Literature<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

AA Responsibility Statement:<\/strong>
\u201cI am responsible. When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of AA always to be there. And for that I am responsible\u201d.<\/p>\r\n

Third Step Prayer<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

God, I offer myself to Thee \u2013 to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of Life.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Seventh Step Prayer<\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cMy Creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good and bad. I\u00a0pray\u00a0that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows. Grant me strength, as I go out from here, to do your bidding. “<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace!
That where there is hatred, I may bring love.
That where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness.
That where there is discord, I may bring harmony.
That where there is error, I may bring truth.
That where there is doubt, I may bring faith.
That where there is despair, I may bring hope.
That where there are shadows, I may bring light.
That where there is sadness, I may bring joy.
Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort, than to be comforted.
To understand, than to be understood.
To love, than to be loved.
For it is by self-forgetting that one finds.
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.
It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
