Description
Recover from Alcoholism, one day at a time.
AA is an informal society of more than 2 million recovering alcoholics throughout the world. In South Africa, there are about 4,500 members. They meet in over 350 local meetings spread around the country. Meetings range in size from a handful in some localities to a hundred or more in larger communities.
AA is nonprofessional – it doesn’t have clinics, doctors, counsellors or psychologists. All members are themselves recovering from alcoholism. There is no central authority controlling how AA groups operate. It is up to the members of each group to decide what they do. However, the AA program of recovery has proved to be so successful that almost every group follows the program as suggested in the literature.
