First, we'd like to express our thanks. From the beginning of A.A. over 85 years ago, we've recognized that word-of-mouth is not enough to carry the A.A. program's message of hope and recovery to the many people still suffering from alcoholism. We've needed help -- and the media has been a vital part of this effort. Today we estimate that there are more than 2 million successfully recovering members of Alcoholics Anonymous in more than 180 countries, and much of this growth can be attributed to the willingness of journalists and media professionals around the world to take an interest in our Fellowship.

Key Points: 
  • We've needed help -- and the media has been a vital part of this effort.
  • Second, we invite your ongoing cooperation in maintaining the anonymity of A.A. members.
  • Those who are reluctant to seek our help often overcome their fear if they are confident that their anonymity will be respected.
  • We hope you will take a moment to watch a brief video on why anonymity remains a vital principle in Alcoholics Anonymous.
