Welcome!
| Welcome to the Alcoholics Anonymous home on the web for Lewis County and the southern tip of Thurston County. Otherwise known as district 28. We gather here in support of each other and to utilize the web’s information sharing capabilities. | |
| A.A. Preamble 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 recover from alcoholism. 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, 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. |
I Am Responsible… When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of AA always to be there. And for that: I am responsible. |
| A Declaration of Unity This we owe to A.A.’s future; To place our common welfare first; To keep our fellowship united. For on A.A. unity depend our lives, And the lives of those to come. |

| The Promises If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will amazed before we are half way through. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Self-seeking will slip away. Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us. We will intuitively know how to handle situtions which use to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us-sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, they will always materialize if we work for them. |
