A.A. Grapevine
The Grapevine is the international journal 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, Grapevine is a lifeline linking one alcoholic to another.
Often referred to as our "Meeting in Print", Grapevine communicates the experience, strength and hope of its contributors and reflects a broad geographic spectrum of current A.A. experience with recovery, unity, and service. Founded in 1944, Grapevine does not receive group contributions, but is supported entirely through magazine and web subscriptions sales as well as additional income derived from the sale of subscriptions and related items.
Many A.A. members enjoy Grapevine and will often buy gift subscriptions for sponsees or other members. Many groups get subscriptions for their group members to share. Groups, districts, and areas have Grapevine representatives. Grapevine depends on these reps to let the membership know about their products, from print and digital magazine to books and other products and applications on recovery from alcoholism.
