Peer support SU – Alcoholics Anonymous

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 basic purpose of an AA meeting is for members to share their experience, strength and hope with each other concerning their problems with alcohol and their experiences in recovery.

The size and format of meetings vary. Some are small, with a few people sitting around a table or in comfy chairs, and a few are in large halls and may comprise upwards of 200 people. Most meetings are attended by around 15 to 50 people.
