Join us on the road to recovery

Meetings

Attend one of Manitoba’s 500 A.A. meetings. Listen to others share their experience, strength, and hope. Closed meetings are for A.A. members only or for those who have a drinking problem and “have a desire to stop drinking”. Open meetings are available to anyone interested in A.A.’s program of recovery. Non-alcoholics may attend open meetings as observers.

Is A.A. right for you?

Take the A.A. self-assessment. Only you can determine if you have a problem with alcohol and if A.A. is right for you.

What is A.A.?
