District 9 WV
(Serving Kanawha County from Pinch to Patrick Street, Charleston)
"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.
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.” - A.A. Preamble

Bridging the Gap:
A BTG Volunteer connects with an individual being discharged from a treatment facility in order to "bridge the gap" between their treatment program and Alcoholics Anonymous. BTG volunteers usually try to get the individual to a meeting within the first 24 hours of discharge.

"Abandon yourself to God as you understand God. Admit your faults to Him and to your fellows. Clear away the wreckage of your past. Give freely of what you find and join us. We shall be with you in the Fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the Road of Happy Destiny.
May God bless you and keep you - until then." - Alcoholics Anonymous p. 164
