Am I an alcoholic?
If you repeatedly drink more than you intend or want to, if you get into trouble or have memory lapses when you drink, you may be an alcoholic. Only you can decide. It is often suggested, attend six meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous and listen for the similarities in the stories of others.
What advice do you give new members?
In our experience, the people who recover in A.A. are those who:
- Stay away from the first drink
- Attend A.A. meetings regularly
- Seek out the people in A.A. who have successfully stayed sober for some time
- Try to put into practice the A.A. program of recovery
- Obtain and study the Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous
Can I bring my family to an A.A. meeting?
Family members or close friends are welcome at Open A.A. meetings. Call Central Office to find out.
