Is AA for me?

Do you repeatedly drink more than you intend to? Is your drinking having a negative effect on your life? Do you feel like your drinking might be a problem?

Only you can decide if AA might be right for you and whether you want to give it a try.

What Is AA?

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. Participation is completely anonymous. 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.
