Raleigh Alcoholics Anonymous is no different from other AA programs. Alcoholics Anonymous is an inclusive support group that brings people together to tackle alcohol addiction. Membership is open to anyone wanting to heal from their alcohol addiction. These meetings are free and can meet you every step of the way on your recovery journey. AA is rooted in peer support, with more experienced members “sponsoring” or guiding newcomers.
AA is an effective program for treating alcohol addiction. However, because it is often used in combination with other approaches, and every meeting is different – it is difficult to say just how effective it is.2
AA is associated with reduced drinking and an increased ability to maintain sobriety.3
The first step in recovery is admitting that there is a problem and that you need help. This step is also where we “hit bottom,” where we are at our lowest and most out of control with alcohol consumption. Hitting bottom is often the driving force that pushes people to seek AA.
This step is often one of the most challenging steps for participants. But there is great healing in this step. It takes us out of isolation and into a connection state. This is where the group is beneficial. Group AA meetings provide a safe space for those struggling with alcohol to connect and share their experiences.
All alcohol use can devastate personal relationships. In this step, we take an honest look back at the people we hurt through our use. In addition, we also open ourselves up to making amends which comes in handy for the next step.
Raleigh Alcoholics Anonymous meetings are offered at multiple points during the day and in several locations. There are many virtual options for Raleigh Alcoholics Anonymous as well.
