Professionals who work with alcoholics share a common purpose with Alcoholics Anonymous: to help the alcoholic stop drinking and lead a healthy, productive life. We can serve as a source of personal experience with alcoholism as an ongoing support system for recovering alcoholics.
“If you are a professional” P-46, Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.
Alcoholics Anonymous has many A.A. members and service committees who are available to provide professionals with information about Alcoholics Anonymous. A.A. has a long history of cooperating but not affiliating with outside organizations and being available to provide A.A. meetings or information about A.A. upon request. A.A. communicates with professionals such as: doctors or other health care professionals, members of the clergy, law enforcement or court officials, educators, social workers, alcoholism counselors, therapists, or others who deal with problem drinkers in the course of their work. Pamphlets are available at Alcoholics Anonymous website in the section “For Professionals”. For additional help, Contact District 12.
About AA Meetings
Most meetings are one hour unless otherwise noted. Almost all meetings are non-smoking. Meetings are “open” or “closed”.
Open AA Meetings
Open meetings are available to anyone interested in Alcoholics Anonymous’ program of recovery from alcoholism. Nonalcoholics may attend open meetings as observers.
Closed AA Meetings
Closed meetings are for A.A. members only, or for those who have a drinking problem and “have a desire to stop drinking.”
