In Alcoholics Anonymous we share our experience, strength and hope with each other that we may solve our common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
There are no dues for fees for membership. The only requirement is a desire to stop drinking.
A. A. is not affiliated with any religious group, political group, organization, or institution.
Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety.
Struggling with a drinking problem?
A.A. offers a real solution. For over 80 years, A.A. has been aiding alcoholics in their recovery. The A.A. program is based on the straightforward principle of one alcoholic helping another. If you feel your drinking is unmanageable, A.A. can provide the support you need.
Can A.A. Help Me?
Only you can decide if you want to try A.A. and if you think it can help. The following materials may help you decide.
We joined A.A. because we could no longer control our drinking and hated to admit we could never drink safely. Hearing from others that we had an illness confirmed our own suspicions. We discovered that many shared our feelings of guilt, loneliness, and hopelessness due to alcoholism.
We chose to confront what alcohol had done to us. Remember, there’s no shame in admitting you have a problem.
