Where To Find A.A.

A.A. help is available without charge or obligation.  There are groups of us in many cities, villages, and rural areas throughout the world.  Look for “A.A.” or “Alcoholics Anonymous” as listed in the community telephone directory.  Information about local meetings may often be obtained from doctors and nurses, from the clergy, newspaper people, police officials, and alcoholism facilities that are familiar with our program.

Those who cannot get in touch with a group in their community are invited to write to our would service office:  General Service Office, Box 459, Grand Central Station, New York, NY  10163.  They will put you in touch with the group nearest you.  If you live in a remote area and there is no nearby group, they will tell you how a number of “lone” members are staying sober by using A.A. principles and the A.A. program.

Anyone who turns to A.A. can be assured that his or her anonymity will be protected.  If you feel that you may have an alcoholic problem and earnestly want to stop drinking, more than two million of us can testify that A.A. is working for us – and that there is no reason in the world why it should not work for you.
