Letter to Anyone New to A.A.

Dear AA Friend:

Thank you for your interest in Alcoholics Anonymous. Below are PDFs of A.A. pamphlets that explain our recovery program and give a general idea of how A.A. works. You will see that the first and most important step in our program is admission by the alcoholic that he or she is powerless over alcohol, and that life has become unmanageable. It is often helpful for the alcoholic to talk with an A.A. member, because it may make it easier to understand the nature of the illness, and to accept A.A. help.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a program of a new way of life without alcohol, a program that is working successfully for millions of men and women throughout the world, and in all walks of life. The experience of A.A. members is that alcoholism is a progressive illness that cannot be cured, but which, like some other illnesses, can be arrested—by staying away from the first drink, one day at a time. We would encourage you to get in touch with the nearest A.A. Central Office or Intergroup to get further information on Alcoholics Anonymous, speak to an A.A. member or find local A.A. meetings. Many of these offices have web sites and email.

If you believe that you may have a problem with alcohol, please take time to attend one of the many AA meetings that are held each week. On this Web Site you will find a Meeting List page that will help you locate a meeting near you.

If you still have any questions to where, when, and what type you should attend please call us at the numbers below, or E-mail us with your questions, and we will help to suggest a meeting that fits you and your length of sobriety.

Remember no question is a dumb one; this may be the first day to a new way of life for you.

Let us help you find your way into the program of Alcoholics Anonymous call 508-775-7060 or Contact us with any questions you may have .

Best wishes, The General Service Office
