About AA

Alcoholics Anonymous practices a singleness of purpose, and that is to carry the message to the alcoholic who still suffers.

Alcoholics Anonymous is an international fellowship of people who experienced a problem with drinking. It is completely nonprofessional, informal, self-supported, apolitical, diverse, and worldwide. There is no requirement for AA membership and there are no dues or fees. Anyone who believes they may have an alcohol problem is free to join the fellowship. There are no forms to sign, no attendance to take, and no declarations of allegiance to be made.

“Our membership ought to include all who suffer from alcoholism. Hence we may refuse none who wish to recover. Nor ought AA membership ever depend on money or conformity. Any two or three alcoholics gathered together for sobriety may call themselves an AA group, provided that, as a group, they have no other affiliation.”

Third Tradition, Long Form, 1946

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.

There are Alcoholics Anonymous meetings all over the world in dozens of languages and millions of attendees. Here in Buenos Aires, Argentina there are Spanish meetings and English meetings. This webpage is dedicated to providing information on the English speaking meetings in Buenos Aires. If you would like to find out about Spanish meetings in Argentina, please visit the General Service Office Argentina site.
