AA 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 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.

WELCOME
This book captures the first 365 days of the
Grapevine Daily Quote, which first appeared
in June 2012. The quotes—contributed
by AA members, with many written by our
co-founders—were selected by the Grapevine
staff. All of these passages first appeared
in the pages of Grapevine as part of
members’ stories and other submissions,
and many of them can now be found
in Grapevine’s themed book anthologies.
Each daily quote is accompanied by the
title of the story it came from, the original
issue date and the geographical location
of its writer. Listed at the bottom of each
page is the Grapevine book in which the
quote can also be found.
We hope that you will enjoy these passages
of experience, strength and hope and bring
them into your daily life.
