"I AM RESPONSIBLE. When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of A.A. always to be there. And for that: I am responsible." We current active members of Asheboro AA meetings hold firm in the belief that A.A. really works if you will only DO the Twelve Steps. A.A. welcomes anyone suffering from the disease of alcoholism, anyone who knows someone who may be suffering from the disease of alcoholism, and anyone who is interested in a shared experience of learning to live a new life based on some universal spiritual practices. In fact, we are simply a loosely-organized group of very fortunate sober drunks who love sharing this gift with others. "Meeting Makers Make It." The purpose of this website is: |

| The Responsibility Declaration was written by Al S., a former Grapevine editor and trustee of Alcoholics Anonymous for the 1965 International Convention held in Toronto. Bill W. expanded on the theme in an essay called "Responsibility Is Our Theme" for the July 1965 Grapevine. This goes hand in hand with the Fifth Tradition. The long form says "Each Alcoholics Anonymous group ought to be a spiritual entity having but one primary purpose -- that of carrying its message to the alcoholic who still suffers." |
