What is AA?

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 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.

Worried About Your Drinking?

Only you can decide whether you want to give Alcoholics Anonymous a try—whether you think it can help you. Admitting you might need help, or admitting that you’re an alcoholic, takes courage. To help you understand whether AA may be right for you take the Self Assessment – a set of questions about our drinking we tried to answer honestly.

About the ECO News…

The Edmonton Central Office (ECO) is a vital service of the Edmonton Area Intergroup Committee that assists us in carrying out our primary purpose of helping the alcoholic who still suffers. Our monthly newsletter serves as a conduit to provide information about meetings, service opportunities, finances at Central Office, and of course upcoming events. We want to communicate information about anything that might be of interest to our AA members, their families, and those in our community who have a desire to stop drinking.

If you would like to contribute to the Newsletter or have ideas on how it could be improved, please drop our editor an email at [email protected].

This web site observes all AA’s practices and principles. Since anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, we practice anonymity at all times. A web site is a public medium which has the potential for reaching the broadest possible audience. Therefore, it requires the same safeguards that we use at the level of press, radio and film.
