Alcoholics Anonymous

About

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other to help solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. AA is the only voluntary fellowship to help alcoholics, and there are no dues or fees for membership. All other agencies include Addaction and Re-Hab Centre’s who claim to e able to help Alcoholics achieve sobriety actually cannot.  They all send their clients to AA, even though they get government grants and peoples monies to cover their costs,to which AA receive nothing, and is happy to keep this tradition.

AA rely on self support and churches and the St Helens Millennium Centre for the contribution of their building towards this.
