A Mirror of the Current Fellowship
A.A. Grapevine and La Viña are the international journals of Alcoholics Anonymous in print, digital and audio. Written, edited, illustrated, and read by A.A. members and others interested in the A.A. program of recovery from alcoholism, they are lifelines linking one alcoholic to another.
In Grapevine and La Viña, AAs tell the stories of today, focused on what impacts our sobriety right now, and offer an up-to-date, accurate picture of our fellowship. Monthly or bi-monthly in print form, alcoholics everywhere receive a 12 th step call, no matter if they are in custody, disabled, homebound, deployed, or otherwise isolated. This is the fellowship we crave, the hand of A.A. in print, audio, or digital form, and one more way Alcoholics Anonymous can bring our message of hope and help.
