• Detailed Information

  • AA is nonprofessional, self-supporting, multiracial, apolitical, and available almost everywhere. There are no age or education requirements.

    
    

    Membership is open to anyone who wants to do something about their drinking problem.

    
    

    - AA members share their experience, strength, and hope with anyone seeking help with a drinking problem; they give person-to-person assistance and/or sponsorship to the alcoholic regardless of how they get to AA.

    
    

    - AA offers a variety of meetings, including meetings for people of color, women, LGBTQ+ and gender non-conforming folks, beginners, young people, atheists, agnostics, as well as all-inclusive meetings, for anyone with a desire to stop drinking.

    
    

    - The AA program of recovery, set forth in our Twelve Steps, offers the alcoholic a way to develop a satisfying life without alcohol.

    
    

    - AA meetings are where the message of recovery, our common problem with a common solution will be shared with the newcomer.

    
    

    MEETINGS

    Making the decision to go to an AA meeting can be intimidating and uncomfortable. Yet, it is a courageous first step in admitting to yourself that you may have a drinking problem that can be helped by the shared experience of recovered alcoholics.

    Fortunately, every AA participant has had a similar experience. The organization itself was founded by recovering alcoholics. The success of this recovery program is based on the concept that one alcoholic has the ability to help another alcoholic, as only an alcoholic can. Experience has shown that those who do not understand this disease of alcoholism remain hopelessly unable to help us. The purpose of an AA Group is to cultivate a feeling of community and understanding to bring the program of solution to the alcoholic who still suffers.

    Attendees of an AA meeting will be welcomed into the group. Discussion among new members is encouraged, but not required. Participants may share their personal stories, including commentary, experience, and readings from AA literature.
