Folks, this page is not an official AA web page. The views and opinions you’ll see here are my own based on years of experience without a drink with the help of the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous and The Twelve Steps of Recovery. I have no intentions of misleading you to believe that AA supports me in this endeavor – they do not. Their “official” opinions, philosophies, policies and principles can be found at the AA web site http://www.alcoholics-anonymous.org/default/en_about.cfmÂ
For future postings, there is something I’d also like to let you know. I may, from time to time, quote excerpts from AA’s literature. There might be moments when I forget to attribute them correctly. In order to be in compliance with my own conscience this is what AA itself says about its reprinting policy;
“As stated in The A.A. Service Manual: “Local A.A. publications are permitted to quote a phrase, sentence or brief paragraph excerpted from A.A. literature such as The Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous, the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, The A.A. Service Manual and Conference-approved pamphlets without a prior, written request to do so…, (accompanied by a credit line (that) should read: Reprinted from (name of publication, page number), with permission of A.A. World Services, Inc.)â€?
If I happen to miss a credit line please feel free to let me know and I’ll fix it.
