Strongly unified, we at Providence Point are held together by adherence to our Primary Purpose to carry the A.A. Message to the alcoholic who still suffers.
We are here to support you on your journey to healing and wellness. Explore our resources, connect with our community, and take the first step towards a brighter future. There is a solution for us in A.A. You Can Recover! We hope you will join us as an additional resource to strengthen your sobriety.
A.A. Preamble
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.
There are no dues or fees for AA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. AA 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.

From the pamphlet ~ “The AA Group”(copyright AAWS, Inc.; reprinted with permission):
All group members are alcoholics (or have a desire to stop drinking) and the group is willing to “open the door to all alcoholics who seek help, regardless of profession, gender, or other distinction.”
The group is fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions the group has no other affiliation
The group does not endorse outside enterprises
The group has no opinion on outside issues
The group maintains the anonymity of its members (no full names or photos of members in public view)”Even the appearance of being linked to any organization, club, political or religious institution needs to be avoided.”Therefore, an AA group that meets in a correctional or treatment facility or a church [or on a non-AA web site, chat server, etc.] can take care not to use the institution’s name, but to call itself something quite different. This makes it clear that the AA group is not affiliated with the hospital, church, prison, treatment facility, or whatever, but simply rents space there for meetings.
Our AA group conscience, as voiced by the General Service Conference, has recommended that ‘family’ meetings, ‘double trouble’ and ‘alcohol and pill’ meetings not be listed in our AA directories. The use of the word ‘family’ might also invite confusion with Al-Anon Family Groups, a fellowship entirely separate from AA.
The primary purpose of any AA group is to carry the AA message to alcoholics. Experience with alcohol is one thing all AA members have in common. It is misleading to hint or give the impression that AA solves other problems or knows what to do about addiction to drugs.
Per Tradition 12, Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions.
A.A. Guidelines- Internet- from G.S.O., Box 459, Grand Central Station, New York, NY 10163
In simplest form, this means that A.A.s do not publicly identify themselves as A.A. members using their full names and/or full-face photos.
Practicing the Twelve Traditions in Cyberspace
Experience has shown us that groups which use the Twelve Traditions have the best chance of maintaining unity and ensuring their ability to be there for the sick and suffering alcoholic who reaches out for help.
Groups stick to our single purpose – recovery from alcoholism, protect the anonymity of their members, avoid affiliation with or endorsements of outside enterprises and are self-supporting. Further information is available from the Online Intergroup Website.

At AA Providence Point, we are dedicated to sharing the A.A. message, fostering community, and providing unwavering support to those on the path to recovery. Our mission is rooted in compassion, commitment, and the belief that recovery is possible for everyone.
A.A. Big Book, p. 100
“When we look back, we realize that the things which came to us when we put ourselves in God’s hands were better than anything we could have planned. Follow the dictates of a Higher Power and you will presently live in a new and wonderful world, no matter what your present circumstances!”
Together We Embrace a Life of Sobriety
Supporting Recovery Through A.A. Fellowship
Alcoholics Anonymous p. 152
We have shown how we got out from under. You say, “Yes, I’m willing. But am I to be consigned to a life where I shall be stupid, boring and glum, like some righteous people I see? I know I must get along without liquor, but how can I? Have you a sufficient substitute?”
Yes, there is a substitute and it is vastly more than that. It is a fellowship in Alcoholics Anonymous. There you will find release from care, boredom and worry. Your imagination will be fired. Life will mean something at last. The most satisfactory years of your existence lie ahead. Thus we find the fellowship, and so will you.
“How is that to come about?” you ask. “Where am I to find these people?”
You are going to meet these new friends in your own community. Near you, alcoholics are dying helplessly like people in a sinking ship. If you live in a large place, there are hundreds. High and low, rich and poor, these are future fellows of Alcoholics Anonymous. Among them you will make lifelong friends. You will be bound to them with new and wonderful ties, for you will escape disaster together and you will commence shoulder to shoulder your common journey. Then you will know what it means to give of yourself that others may survive and rediscover life. You will learn the full meaning of “Love thy neighbor as thyself.”
It may seem incredible that these men are to become happy, respected, and useful once more. How can they rise out of such misery, bad repute and hopelessness? The practical answer is that since these things have happened among us, they can happen with you. Should you wish them above all else, and be willing to make use of our experience, we are sure they will come. The age of miracles is still with us. Our own recovery proves that!
