Web Site Purpose

 The purpose of the MSAG web site is:

To carry the message to the still suffering alcoholic by relating how we have recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body. 

To explain that we were dissatisfied with the recovery we were experiencing, and to share how we created the fellowship we craved by providing information, materials, and our own experience.

 To describe how we keep our spiritual recovery fresh through the action of working and reworking the Twelve Steps.

To responsibly exercise the privileges of group autonomy.
