New to Alcoholics Anonymous?

The Unfortunates Group is here to help.

Like you, we all had lots of questions. "What is AA?" "Why am I here?" "What's wrong with me?" "Why do I need a sponsor?" Just to name a few. We found answers to those questions and so many more here in Alcoholics Anonymous.

To help answer some of your questions we have pulled together some resources for you to start with.

 

"Yet it is our great hope that all of those who have as yet found no answer may begin to find one in the pages of this book and will presently join us on the high road to a new freedom."
- P XXI, Alcoholics Anonymous
