Stop Drinking Alcohol with Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings
Alcoholics Annonymous

You may think, having read some pages on this website, that I do not approve of AA, that I have 'issues' with it.

NOT GUILTY!

I have no problems with Alcoholics Anonymous and the 12 step method, I got sober with AA, and I stayed sober for a year by going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Then, and only then, did I move on.

No, my issues lie with those who believe that Alcoholics Anonymous is the only way to stay sober. It just isn't true. It is arrogant and presumptuous to suggest that just because a method works for you, that it is the only method that works.

Anyway, enough of my ranting, if you want to read more then go to my page on what's wrong with the 12 step program of AA to read my ramblings on this topic.

As I said above AA has its merits and has helped many get sober and stay sober. Click on the titles below to read more about this unique self-help group.
