Alcoholics Anonymous
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who come together to solve their drinking problem. It doesn’t cost anything to attend A.A. meetings. There are no age or education requirements to participate. Membership is open to anyone who wants to do something about their drinking problem. A.A.’s primary purpose is to help alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
Al-Anon
Al-Anon Family Groups, commonly known simply as Al-Anon, is a confidential program for families and friends of alcoholics. The goal of Al-Anon isn’t to provide interventions or convince a loved one to stop drinking, but an opportunity to get together and share common experiences and much-needed mutual support. The program is beneficial for friends and family of problem drinkers, even if the alcoholic doesn’t acknowledge the problem or isn’t ready to seek help.
InnerWorld
Innerworld is a virtual world where you can open up about life's challenges, and work through them with others. Explore the thoughts, emotions and behaviors that shape you, and learn life-changing tools based on the insights and concepts of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Life Ring Secular Recovery
LifeRing Secular Recovery is an organization of people who share practical experiences and sobriety support. There are as many ways to live free of illicit or non-medically indicated drugs and alcohol as there are stories of successful sober people. Many LifeRing members attend other kinds of meetings or recovery programs, and we honor those decisions. Some have had negative experiences in attempting to find help elsewhere, but most people soon find that LifeRing’s emphasis on the positive, practical present-day can turn anger and despair into hope and resolve. LifeRing respectfully embraces what works for each individual.
