AA is a worldwide Fellowship of men and women who follow a self-help programme of recovery from problem drinking. The main purpose of each AA member is to stay sober and to help other problem drinkers to achieve and maintain sobriety through the process of sharing our experience, strength and hope with each other and constantly offering friendship and help to newcomers to our Programme. Our Programme for recovery is universally applicable, transcending all boundaries of economic or academic status, walk of life, class, age, sex, race, belief, or lack of belief.
Membership is free .
Being self-supporting it costs you and the tax payer nothing. AA meetings are held every day and night of the week all over the world. There are some 3,500 in Great Britain - nearly 100 of them are in Kent. Help for anyone suffering from the age-old problem of alcoholism is just a phone call away. Our National Helpline number is open twenty-four hours a day, every day.
