Alcoholics Anonymous New Zealand 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, organisation, 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. A.A. can help people of any age and background so youth drinking, teen

drinking, drinking alone, drinking at home, solo drinking and elderly drinking are all factors that have brought people to A.A., and we have members aged from 16 through to 96. If you find problem drinking, binge drinking, drinking blackouts or other alcohol problems are affecting your life and that of your friends and family, Alcoholics Anonymous may have the solution for you. To find out if we can help, try our ‘Are you an alcoholic?’ quiz at www.aa.org.nz or contact AA by ringing 0800 229 6757. 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.
