AA

This site covers Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, events, hotline and contacts in Tuolumne County, District 33, of the California North Interior Area. It includes AA in Sonora, Jamestown, Soulsbyville, Groveland, Tuolumne and Twain Harte.

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.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership. We are fully self-supporting through our own contributions. Alcoholics Anonymous 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.

Step Nine: Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

 

"As soon as we begin to feel confident in our new way of life and have begun, by our behavior and example, to convince those about us that we are indeed changing for the better, it is usually safe to talk in complete frankness with those who have been seriously affected, even those who may be only a little or not at all aware of what we have done to them. The only exceptions we will make will be cases where our disclosure would cause actual harm."
