Our meeting has a
tradition of free expression. You may feel free to express any
doubts or disbeliefs you may have, and to share your own personal form of
spiritual experience, or your search for it, or even your rejection of it. We
do not endorse atheism, nor oppose it. We do not oppose any form of
religion, nor endorse it. Our only wish is to assure suffering alcoholics
that they can find sobriety in A.A. without having to accept anyone else’s
beliefs or having to deny their own. The only requirement for A.A.
membership is a desire to stop drinking. There will be no closing prayers. At
the end we will hold hands and repeat the slogan.
