Alcoholics Anonymous is a successful International Fellowship. Tradition #3 states the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are A.A. members of many Faiths as well as atheists, agnostics and the like. This tab in no way promotes any Faith, Religion or Creed. It is the hope of this tab to breakdown Spiritual terms in a more simplistic lanquage. If you have any suggestions please email us on the contact page. We hope you will become sober in the manner that is befitting to you. There are A.A. members that have become sober through A.A. meetings, service work and or helping another member. If you find that is not enough to stay sober and gain sobriety the following 12 Step Big Book suggestions might be your answer.

   12 Step Spiritual Solution

The Beginning of the book is broken down into 3 parts from the preface to page 23 the main reference is the Body (How the body is sick... as an alcoholic when I drink my body craves more (the baffling thing is sometimes I could get away with a few drinks) 
 
The next section references the mind (how cunning this sickness is in the mind) how the mind is sick "it tells us to drink when we don't want to" this is from page 23 to 43 (2nd paragraphm says: Therefore, the main problem of the alcoholic centers in his mind)  It does'nt say the main problem is the mind it says "centers in his mind" We have a mind that lies to us, it tells us to drink  when even after we make a decision not too!
 
then from page 44 to 63 the main reference is the Spirit "our Spirit is sick" (how powerful this sickness is) then from page 63 - 164 the book gives us the directions for us to build a relationship with a Higher Power "God" or "God as we understand Him" that will solve this sickness
If we don't believe or have a Higher Power can we be at minimum "willing to believe in a Power Greater than ourselves"
 
Cunning, Baffling, Powerful! ----
