The Online Intergroup of Alcoholics Anonymous, or OIAA, is an International service organization established in accordance with the Ninth Tradition of Alcoholics Anonymous A.A., specifically for the purpose of assisting online A.A. groups in their common purpose of carrying the A.A. message to the alcoholic who still suffers. OIAA fulfills this purpose by
