Is A.A. for you?
Only you can decide whether you want to give A.A. a try – whether you think it can help you.
We who are in A.A. came because we finally gave up trying to control our drinking. We still hated to admit that we could never drink safely. Then we heard from other A.A. members that we were sick. (We thought so for years!) We found out that many people suffered from the same feelings of guilt and loneliness and hopelessness that we did. We found out that we had these feelings because we had the disease of alcoholism.
We decided to try and face up to what alcohol had done to us.
Here are some of the questions we tried to answer honestly. Try them yourself and see how you do. Remember, there is no disgrace in facing up to the fact that we have a problem.

WE ALL
NEED
HELP
Bridging the Gap
Bridging the Gap connects those leaving treatment facilities with members of A.A. in their community. Many of us need help getting to the doors of Alcoholics Anonymous. Connect with A.A. in Area 79 by using the downloadable form or by filling it out online.
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

What is A.A.?
We aren't a glum lot...
We absolutely insist on enjoying life.

You can find the community that interests you on our events page. There is great freedom and joy found in Unity, Service and Recovery.
A.A. Literature
A.A. literature is available in many forms. Books, pamphlets and even digital. Whether you are a newcomer, a member doing service, a professional wanting resources, or someone who isn’t sure if they have a problem, there is a piece of literature for you. Area 79 also publishes our own literature with a special lens on BC/Yukon, the most recent of which is “Our Stories – First Nations, Inuit & Metis Recovery”. Click on the link to the A.A.
