Benefits of Going to AA

  • Learn new ways to overcome addiction. AA meetings teach you new tips and tricks for staying sober and avoiding temptation in the form of drinking.
  • Receive ongoing support. Fellow AA members understand how difficult it can be to overcome addiction, and offer ongoing support so you can join the ranks of lifelong sobriety.
  • Escape to a safe haven. AA offers recovering addicts a safe environment free of alcohol so you can go knowing you won’t have access to substances.
  • Speak freely about addiction. AA members will not judge or criticize you about your drinking history, and encourage you to speak freely about addiction as part of healing.
  • Bond with recovering addicts. Going to AA allows you to make new friends and bond with recovering addicts who understand and share similar struggles.
  • Access help whenever you need it. AA meetings are often available at various times every day so you can go when it benefits you most — including on days you feel the urge to drink.
  • Join for free. Twelve-step programs like AA are free to join and welcome anyone who suffers from addiction or think they have a problem with addiction.
  • Go through recovery at your own pace. AA does not set time limits on the 12 steps, meaning you can recover from addiction at a pace that feels most comfortable to you.
