Alcoholics Anonymous, also referred to as AA is the world's biggest self help group for people who desire to end their dependency on alcohol. Alcoholics Anonymous is a group of women and men who've suffered from or are themselves suffering from alcohol dependency, and who turn towards each other to help themselves get rid of their addictions. If you think that you are an alcohol addicted or are "addicted to alcohol", then you may seek help from your local Aa chapter.
People at AA won't tell you whether you are an alcoholic or not. Thus it is your decision to judge if you are one, in case there're any doubts. If you feel the urges or desires to lay hands on your favorite poison, always end up alcohol consumption more than what you wanted to, or are physically dependent on alcohol to get you through the day or night, then you're what could be termed an alcohol dependent or alcoholic person. There're plenty of individuals who think that they're not alcoholics just because they've the ability to consume a lot of alcohol without losing control of their senses, actually, these people are also alcohol dependent.
Initial Step
When you are sure that you're an alcohol addicted, then the first step to take in order to quit the habit is to abstain from alcohol consumption as far as possible. While it is very easy to tell somebody to cut down on alcohol consumption, it's impossible for the alcohol addicted to follow this suggestion because of the condition that she or he is suffering from. So, it is important for alcoholics people to seek support at these times from people who've managed to or are in the process of kicking the habit and this is the core group forming Alcoholics Anonymous.
AA is the best type of support group that anybody may ever think of joining, because it's among those exceptional organizations in the world that is apolitical non-denominational and multiracial. The group has absolutely no political, social or religious leanings and the only leaning the group has is towards attaining a combined goal of non-alcoholism.
Self-supporting
Alcoholics Anonymous is a self supporting, non- professional organization that's founded, run and managed by past or even active alcoholics, and everybody is free to join in. There're no requirements to be met to be a member, aside from the inclination to kick alcohol addiction.
AA or Alcoholics Anonymous has the distinction of being the world's largest self-help organization. Branches and Alcoholics Anonymous groups may be found in nearly every city in the world. The group's members meet almost every week, where they talk about the problems that they are facing due to being alcohol dependent, how they want to stop the habit, how they've got out of the quick sands of alcohol addiction and what are the good and bad changes in their lives because of alcohol addiction and because of getting rid of it.
Free For All
Alcoholics Anonymous membership is totally free for all. The organization doesn't solicit members but all are free to come and go as they please. There are no attendance or membership records. But, the organization have a buddy system, where someone is codependent on the other and vice versa, and every one tries to prevent their partner from getting a relapse.
