Nature Coast Intergroup is your resource for Alcoholic's Anonymous information. Check back often for news and updates for nature coast AA news.
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 A.A. membership; we
are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. 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.

An alcoholic recently said "I don't know why we need an
Intergroup or a District or an Area or even the General Service
conference. I don't need them - I have my group." I can only say
to him what the late Bernard B. Smith, nonalcoholic, then
chairperson of the board of trustees, and one of the architects of
the Conference structure, answered that question superbly in his
opening talk at the 1954 meeting:
"We may not need a General Service Conference to ensure
our own recovery:
•We do need it to ensure the recovery of the alcoholic who
still stumbles in the darkness one short block from this room.
• We need it to ensure the recovery of a child being born
tonight, destined for alcoholism.
• We need it to provide, in keeping with our Twelfth Step, a
permanent haven for all alcoholics who, in the ages ahead, can
find in A.A. that rebirth that brought us back to life."

The Three Legacies of Alcoholics Anonymous are Recovery, Unity, and Service. These legacies have been passed down to us from the cofounders and old timers of A.A.
"When all else fails, no singular action can more completely help eliminate the compulsion to drink like carrying the message to another alcoholic." Twelfth step work at it's finest. Please call the hotline to discuss opportunities to serve. (352) 621-0599"
