Alcoholics Anonymous is worldwide with A.A. meetings in almost every community. You can find times and places of local A.A. meetings or events by contacting a nearby central office, intergroup or answering service of U.S. and Canada.

Telephone numbers for Alcoholics Anonymous are often listed in local telephone directories. Outside of the U.S. and Canada, you may contact the International General Service Office nearest you. Please click here

One of the ways A.A. members stay sober is by helping others to recover from alcoholism. We encourage you to contact the nearest A.A. office, where local A.A. members will provide information to anyone.

SOS (Secular Organizations for Sobriety)
An alternative recovery method for those alcoholics or drug addicts who are uncomfortable with the spiritual content of widely available 12-Step programs. SOS takes a reasonable, secular approach to recovery and maintains that sobriety is a separate issue from religion or spirituality. SOS credits the individual for achieving and maintaining his or her own sobriety, without reliance on any "Higher Power." SOS respects recovery in any form regardless of the path by which it is achieved. It is not opposed to or in competition with any other recovery programs.

SOS supports healthy skepticism and encourages the use of the scientific method to understand alcoholism.
