Local AA MEETINGS

By staying actively engaged in the AA program, individuals are less likely to relapse and more likely tomaintain long-term sobriety. If someone you care about has a drinking problem, A.A. Has helped more than two million alcoholics stop drinking. Recovery works through marijuana addiction one alcoholic sharing their experience with another. It’s based on one alcoholic helping another.

AA meetings serve as a safe space for individuals to share experiences, receive guidance, and develop coping mechanisms for alcohol dependence. Unlike medical treatment, AA relies on mutual aid and lived experiences rather than clinical intervention. The principles of AA focus on unity, recovery, and service. Unity emphasizes the importance of a strong support network, recovery is achieved by following the 12 steps, and service involves giving back to the community by helping others struggling with addiction.
