The purpose of the Grapevine / La Viña Committee is to carry the AA message to everyone interested in alcoholism through its magazines, websites, and related items, which reflect the experience, strength, and hope of its members and friends on topics related to recovery, unity and service.
The AA Grapevine is the international journal of Alcoholics Anonymous. Written, edited, illustrated, and read by AA members and others interested in the AA program of recovery from alcoholism, the Grapevine is a lifeline linking one alcoholic to another.
Often referred to as our “meeting in print,” the AA Grapevine communicates the experience, strength, and hope of its contributors and reflects a broad geographic spectrum of current AA experience with recovery, unity, and service. Founded in 1944, the Grapevine does not receive group contributions, but is supported entirely through magazine subscription sales and additional income derived from the sale of Grapevine items.
Any member of Alcoholics Anonymous within Area 46 can get involved in our committee. If you would like more information about getting involved start here.
The Grapevine/La Viña is a great tool in bridging the gap to those who travel frequently and or live in rural areas who cannot attend meetings regularly. Everything you need to conduct a meeting is in the GV. That is why it is also known as “Our Meeting in Print”. There are many services and products that the GV/LV has to offer.
