Alcoholics Anonymous: Free For Anyone Who Wants to Quit Drinking

By: Ed Philips

Alcoholics Anonymous, more commonly known as AA is the world's largest self help group for people who want to kick their alcohol addiction. Alcoholics Anonymous is a group of men and women who have suffered from or are themselves suffering from alcoholism, and who turn towards each other in order to help themselves get rid of their addictions. If you think that you are an alcoholic or are "addicted to alcohol", then you can seek help from your local AA chapter.

Members of AA would not tell you to your face that you are an alcoholic so it's down to you to judge whether you are or not. If you do get a consistent urge to drink or always finish up going over the top or if you feel dependent on alcohol to help you manage to get through the night or day, then you can consider yourself an alcoholic or an alcoholic dependant person.

Some people who are able to consume vast quantities of alcohol without losing their senses believe themselves not to be alcoholics, but this can also be considered as another symptom of being an alcoholic.

When you have confirmed the fact that you are an alcoholic then you must stop drinking alcohol as much as possible in order to quit the habit. Telling somebody to reduce alcohol consumption is a tall order as the very condition makes such advice virtually impossible.

It is therefore of extreme importance that people who are dependent on Alcohol get imperative advice from people who have or who are in the process of giving up alcohol consumption and where better than the Alcoholics Anonymous group.

Alcoholics Anonymous is without a doubt unique regarding its neutral politics and opens its door to anyone regardless of race or colour. It neither bias towards religion nor social background and its only goal is that of collective non-alcoholism.

AA is a self support group both run by and motivated by people who have or had problems with alcohol dependency and they would welcome in anyone and it's totally free. You are under no obligation whatsoever in joining, apart from the desire to stop drinking alcohol.

Alcoholics Anonymous has the reputation of being the world's biggest self support organization. You can find local branches of AA in virtually any city throughout the world. Members normally meet up once a week and talk about the difficulties that arise through being dependent on alcohol. They also touch on other subjects like how they plan on kicking the habit, what actually made them want to stop and what the resulting negative and positive changes are in their lives while both on and off alcohol.

It is totally free to become a member of AA and admission is only on a voluntary basis. Neither attendance nor membership records are kept, but they do have something called a buddy system, whereby two members are co-dependent on each other which helps to avoid either member having a relapse.

Joining AA has been made so simple to anyone in need and all group therapies are monitored by experts in helping people disconnect themselves from alcohol dependency. So why don't you start afresh and check out a couple of the meetings at an AA centre in your area.
