AA, or Alcoholics Anonymous, is a fellowship that helps individuals struggling with
alcohol addiction to achieve and maintain sobriety through a community of individuals who themselves,
have struggled with drinking. We survive by not drinking, we thrive because of the friendship and
accountability offered by the program.
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a peer-led, mutual aid fellowship founded in 1935 in Akron, Ohio,
by Bill W. and Dr. Bob, both of whom struggled with alcoholism themselves. Its primary purpose
is to help members achieve sobriety and maintain it through a structured program of recovery. Membership
is free, anonymous, and open to anyone who wants to stop drinking. AA is not affiliated with any religious
denomination or political group, and it does not recruit members; participation is voluntary.
AA’s recovery program is based on the Twelve Steps, a set of spiritual principles designed to help
members overcome their obsession with alcohol and develop a sober lifestyle.
