A.A. is a program of total abstinence. Members simply stay away from one drink, one day at a time. Sobriety is maintained through sharing experience, strength, and hope at group meetings and through the suggested Twelve Steps for recovery from alcoholism. 1

Through the example and friendship of the recovered alcoholics in A.A., new members are encouraged to stay away from a drink "one day at a time," as the A.A.'s do. Instead of "swearing off forever" or worrying about whether they will be sober tomorrow, A.A.'s concentrate on not drinking right now - today. By keeping alcohol out of their systems, newcomers take care of one part of their illness -their bodies have a chance to get well. But remember, there is another part.

Though Alcoholics can find "sponsors" to offer support and guidance in recovery, it does not provide intervention.

There must be a life altering event to shake up the alcoholic so badly that the decision to give up drinking becomes more appealing than staying drunk. This shake up is loosely called "intervention." And, it could be an unorganized, grueling jumble of personal tragedy for the alcoholic and the family. This may be in the form of divorce, job loss, financial ruin, domestic violence, child neglect, jail, cirrhosis, insanity and ultimately death.

This information is both for people who may have a drinking problem and for those in contact with people who have, or are suspected of having, a problem. Most of the information is available in more detail in literature published by A.A. World Services, Inc. See our literature page for a list of basic A.A. texts, and available pamphlets.

Not necessarily. We have learned the meaning of the slogan, "Live and Let Live" and can live, work and play in harmony anywhere. Even if we reserved an entire ship for its total capacity of 3,000 guests, there would still be 1,000 or so crew members not in recovery. There’s always somebody! In fact, in the spirit of sharing a life of abundance, we encourage those in recovery to bring "non program" loved ones on these enlightening trips.

is essentially a religious organization, trying valiantly to broaden access to alcoholics of all creeds and beliefs. But for those with no belief in any form of God, can AA offer any assistance with alcoholism? There are ways to work the steps to sobriety even without a belief in God, and some atheists find that AA can help. Find out how they do it. A DUI can cause you significant legal problems, but perhaps more worrisome are the use behaviors that allowed for the occurrence of the DUI.

We in A.A. know what it is like to be addicted to alcohol, and to be unable to keep promises made to others and ourselves that we will stop drinking. We are not professional therapists. Our only qualification for helping others to recover from alcoholism is that we have stopped drinking ourselves, but problem drinkers coming to us know that recovery is possible because they see people who have done it. 2
