Alcoholics Anonymous Support
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who come together to solve their drinking problem. It doesn’t cost anything to attend A.A. meetings. There are no age or education requirements to participate. Membership is open to anyone who wants to do something about their drinking problem.
A.A.’s primary purpose is to help alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
-
There are a variety of formats for A.A. meetings and each meeting takes on the feel of their local area. At most meetings you will hear members talk about what drinking did to them and to those around them. Most also share what actions they took to stop drinking and how they are living their lives today.
The purpose of all meetings is for A.A. members to “share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.”
-
Meetings are available locally and online. People who think they have a drinking problem are welcome to attend any A.A. meeting. They can sit and listen and learn more about recovery. Or they can share about themselves. It's completely up to them. Everyone is welcome. You don’t have to pay anything to attend.
Professionals are welcome to observe open A.A. meetings to learn more about what happens in A.A.
-
Today, an A.A. presence can be found in approximately 180 nations worldwide, with membership estimated at over two million. There are more than 123,000 A.A. groups around the world and A.A.’s literature has been translated into over 100 languages.
