Alcohol Recovery Is Possible
We’ll Help You Take the First Step If you’re considering Alcoholics Anonymous, we can explain how it works, what to expect, and how to find a meeting near you. You don’t have to figure this out alone — just give us a call.
What Is Alcoholics Anonymous?
Alcoholics Anonymous is a global, peer-led fellowship of people recovering from alcohol addiction. Founded in 1935, AA centers around a simple 12-step spiritual program designed to help individuals stop drinking and build a life in recovery — one day at a time. Whether you’re just exploring the idea or ready to take action, AA can be a powerful part of the journey.
Is AA Right for You?
You don’t need a label to explore recovery. AA welcomes anyone who wants to stop drinking — even if they’re not sure they can. Whether you’re struggling yourself or worried about someone else, these signs might help you decide if it’s time to take the next step.

You’ve tried to cut back on drinking but haven’t been able to.

AA welcomes anyone — not just "rock bottom" cases.
