FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of individuals developed to help its members “stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety.”
AA does not have a formal definition of an alcoholic, but it is commonly described as a physical compulsion combined with a mental obsession with consuming alcohol. In Alcoholics Anonymous, members decide for themselves if they identify as an alcoholic. This label is not forced upon them. The only requirement to join AA is a desire to stop drinking.
The Big Book is the original text on which AA was founded. Learn more about The Big Book at AA.org.
Anonymity is a core principle of Alcoholics Anonymous, with founding members going so far as to include it in the name of the fellowship. Anonymity serves two purposes:
- Provide personal protection to the identity of all members. It is each individual’s right to tell who they want about their addiction. This is often especially beneficial to newcomers who may be working on understanding their relationship with alcohol.
- Stresses equality of all members and keeps individuals from exploiting their affiliation through the media for personal gain.
No one treatment plan will work for every individual. However, countless individuals and families can attest to how Alcoholics Anonymous has helped them.
