Look for Alcoholics Anonymous in your local telephone directory. These telephones are answered by A.A. volunteers who will be happy to answer your questions, or put you in touch with those who can. If there is no A.A. telephone service close to you, write or phone the A.A. General Service Office. Remember that alcoholism is a progressive disease. Take it seriously, even if you feel you are only in the early stages of the illness.
Alcoholism kills people.
If you are an alcoholic, and if you continue to drink, in time you will get worse. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
