FAQ

This leaflet is intended for people approaching Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) for the first time. In it we have tried to answer the questions most frequently in the minds of newcomers — the questions which were in our minds when we first approached the Fellowship.

Am I an alcoholic?
If you repeatedly drink more than you intend or want to, if you get into trouble, or if you have memory lapses when you drink, you may be an alcoholic.

Only you can decide. No one in AA will tell you whether you are or not.

What can I do if I am worried about my drinking?
Seek help. Alcoholics Anonymous can help.

What is Alcoholics Anonymous?
We are a Fellowship of men and women who have lost the ability to control our drinking and have found ourselves in various kinds of trouble as a result of drinking.

We attempt — most of us successfully — to create a satisfying way of life without alcohol. For this we find we need the help and support of other alcoholics in AA.

If I go to an AA meeting, does that commit me to anything?
No. AA does not keep membership files, or attendance records. You do not have to reveal anything about yourself. No one will bother you if you don’t want to come back.

What happens if I meet people I know?
They will be there for the same reason you are there. They will not disclose your identity to outsiders.

At AA you retain as much anonymity as you wish. That is one of the reasons we call ourselves “Alcoholics Anonymous.”

What happens at an AA meeting?
An AA meeting may take one of several forms, but at any meeting you will find alcoholics talking about what drinking did to their lives and personalities, what actions they took to help themselves, and how they are living their lives today.

How can this help me with my drinking problem?
We in AA know what it is like to be addicted to alcohol, and to be unable to keep promises made to others and ourselves that we will stop drinking.

We are not professional therapists. Our only qualification for helping others to recover from alcoholism is that we have stopped drinking ourselves, but problem drinkers coming to us know that recovery is possible because they see people who have done it.

Why do AA’s keep on going to meetings after they are cured?
We in AA believe there is no such thing as a “cure” for alcoholism. We can never return to normal drinking, and our ability to stay away from alcohol depends on maintaining our physical, mental, and spiritual health.This we can achieve by going to meetings regularly and putting into practice what we learn there.

How do I join AA?
You are an AA member if and when you say so. The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking, and many of us were not very wholehearted about that when we first approached AA.

How much does AA membership cost?
There are no dues or fees for AA membership. An AA group will usually have a collection during the meeting to cover expenses, such as rent, coffee, etc., and to this all members are free to contribute as much or as little as they wish.

Is AA a religious organization?
No. Nor is it allied with any religious organization.

There’s a lot of talk about God, though, isn’t there?
The majority of AA members believe that we have found the solution to our drinking problem not through individual willpower, but through a power greater than ourselves.

However, everyone defines this power as he or she wishes. Many people call it God, others think it is the AA group, still others don’t believe in it at all. There is room in AA for people of all shades of belief and nonbelief.

Can I bring my family to an AA meeting?
Family members or close friends are welcome at “Open” AA meetings. Discuss this with your local contact.

What advice do you give new members?

In our experience, the people who recover in AA are those who:
(a) stay away from the first drink
(b) attend AA meetings regularly
(c) seek out the people in AA who have successfully stayed sober for some time
(d) try to put into practice the AA program of recovery

How can I contact AA?
Look for Alcoholics Anonymous in your local telephone directory. These telephones are answered by AA volunteers who will be happy to answer your questions, or put you in touch with those who can. If there is no AA telephone service close to you, write or phone the AA General Service Office.

Is AA for You?

Only you can decide whether you want to give AA a try — whether you think it can help you.

We who are in AA came because we finally gave up trying to control our drinking.

We still hated to admit that we could never drink safely. Then we heard from other AA members that we were sick. (We thought so for years!)

We found that many people suffered from the same feelings of guilt and loneliness and hopelessness that we did. We found out that we had these feelings because we had the disease of alcoholism.

We decided to try and face up to what alcohol had done to us. Here are some of the questions we tried to answer honestly.

If we answered ‘Yes’ to four or more questions, we were in deep trouble with our drinking.

See how you do. Remember, there is no disgrace in facing up to the fact that you have a problem.

Have you ever decided to stop drinking for a week or so, but only lasted for a couple of days?
Most of us in AA made all kinds of promises to ourselves and to our families. We could not keep them. Then we came to AA. AA said: “Just try not to drink today.” (If you do not drink today, you cannot get drunk today.)

Do you wish people would mind their own business about your drinking — stop telling you what to do?
In AA we do not tell anyone to do anything. We just talk about our own drinking, the trouble we got into, and how we stopped. We will be glad to help you, if you want us to.

Have you ever switched from one kind of drink to another in the hope that this would keep you from getting drunk?
We tried all kinds of ways. We made our drinks weak. Or just drank beer. Or we did not drink cocktails. Or only drank on weekends. You name it, we tried it. But if we drank anything with alcohol in it, we usually got drunk eventually.

Have you had to have an eye-opener upon awakening during the past year?
Do you need a drink to get stated, or to stop shaking? This is a pretty sure sign that you are not drinking “socially.”

Do you envy people who can drink without getting into trouble?
At one time or another, most of us have wondered why we were not like most people, who really can take it or leave it.

Have you had problems connected with drinking during the past year?
Be honest! Doctors say that if you have a problem with alcohol and keep on drinking, it will get worse — never better. Eventually, you will die, or end up in an institution for the rest of your life. The only hope is to stop drinking.

Has your drinking caused trouble at home?
Before we came into AA, most of us said that it was the people or problems at home that made us drink. We could not see that our drinking just made everything worse. It never solved problems anywhere or anytime.

Do you ever try to get “extra” drinks at a party because you do not get enough?
Most of us used to have a “few” before we started out if we thought it was going to be that kind of party. And if drinks were not served fast enough, we would go some place else to get more.

Have you missed days of work or school because of drinking?
Many of us admit now that we “called in sick” lots of times when the truth was that we were hung-over or on a drunk.

Do you have “blackouts?”
A “blackout” is when we have been drinking hours or days which we cannot remember. When we came to AA, we found out that this is a pretty sure sign of alcoholic drinking.

Have you ever felt that your life would be better if you did not drink?
Many of us started to drink because drinking made life seem better, at least for awhile. By the time we got into AA, we felt trapped. We were drinking to live and living to drink. We were sick and tired of being sick and tired.

What’s your score?
Did you answer ‘Yes’ four or more times? If so, you are probably in trouble with alcohol. Why do we say this? Because thousands of people in AA have said so for many years. They found out the truth about themselves — the hard way.

But again, only you can decide whether you think AA is for you. Try to keep an open mind on the subject. If the answer is ‘Yes,’ we will be glad to show you how we stopped drinking ourselves. Just call.

AA does not promise to solve your life’s problems. But we can show you how we are learning to live without drinking “one day at a time.” We stay away from that “first drink.” If there is no first one, there cannot be a tenth one. and when we got rid of alcohol, we found that life became much more manageable.

Intervention for Alcoholics

Image of Intervention for AlcoholicsOur staff are very dedicated to helping people drinking problem. "The problem with this is that they do not want to stop drinking alcohol and are very satisfied with the lives they have this time. Alcohol often begins either as a social habit or for a respite from problems and worries. The problem is that personal interventions do not always work. Make it clear to him that whatever happens will be on him, then he has to face the problem head on. Voluntary intervention sometimes works with these people, but in many cases it is not because the person has lost the ability to understand how serious the problem is.
Nobody likes having to use the Florida Marchman Act, but in some cases it is the only way to get court ordered drug treatment for someone you love. Throughout the day households, the intervention specialist will educate all concerned about activation, I love hard, addiction, detoxification applications, and more important to get the household powerful enough to sit and significantly so for and love, bring the addicted person to finally accept help. The severity of the addiction eventually determines the extent and quality of the intervention. The study was reported in the Globe and Mail in Toronto and focused on the brain chemistry of addiction. When the person with an addiction to alcohol is argumentative, always remain calm. The treatment of alcohol dependence was based primarily on the intensity of the desire of the individual to addiction ultimately quit.
Alcohol as well as any addiction should be treated as a disease and patients suffering from this disease need immediate help from family and society in general. It is not so easy, because the rights of the addict must also be protected, but in many cases it is the only way to ensure that the person you love gets the help they need . When this happens and they show signs of relenting to accept help, this is the time where you can start to push for treatment. With the help of these lawyers, an alcohol addict is presented in an order that he immediately provides an approved center for the assessment, detoxification and long-term treatment. Whenever institutions like Al-Anon should not be in your own neighborhood, get help from a psychologist, a specialist or shrink to discover the heart of the problem and the proper way to approach the alcoholic. Another source of help and support are help lines that are operational 24 hours a day, offering all kinds of help and advice.
In Florida, however, they can be helped by intervention court ordered alcohol abuse. Keep a safe distance from your intervention measures where, for your efforts to bring about a change in the dependent person is not clear to him. Confrontation must be held some time when they're sober, so here are 5 tips that may be useful to help prepare for an intervention … 1) Get professional help available in your area, including AA rather than make your own plan. Personal interventions do not always work you've probably seen on television inspiring stories of drug addicts and alcoholics who undergo family intervention and realize what they have to lose, come to the conclusion that they must go through rehabilitation . It may also require a considerable amount of time and energy from the partner to begin the process of intervention. The meeting prior to the actual intervention is generally known as the day of the family. In general, the day before the actual intervention, the day the household is important for intervention to easily.
One of us probably the most typical factors a person is afraid of the position is up against the body to withdraw from drugs like heroin, prescription drugs such as painkillers and alcohol. It requires courage to face someone who used alcohol, do not go back after the first attempt. Ideally, the alcohol intervention should begin as soon as possible, because old habits die hard. A series of hearings at the court in your county to determine if a drug should be evaluated and detox, and then if he or she needs to take a longer-term treatment such as court ordered treatment alcohol dependence. Around 2005 and 2006, I came across an article about a drug that has shown efficacy in clinical trials for the treatment of urge that alcoholics have alcohol. You are playing a crucial role in this battle together against alcohol dependence should not underestimate what you can do.
Getting help for an alcoholic is stressful enough without having to apply to a court for the orderly and Florida there are legal experts who are able to work with families and the judicial system to make the process as simple as possible. The bottom line is that regardless of the time of alcohol beyond permissible limits, it can cause serious damage physically and emotionally on the person itself and equally, if not more, the members of his family. Families weep inside for the alcoholic to wake up and seek the help they need. A significant portion of potential intervention for victory, is that the family member who also holds the possibility of change as well. Families can be torn apart by addiction, and innocent people can lose their lives due to tragic accidents as drunk driving. Programs as synonymous with alcoholic can not only help patients, but also their families, as well as alcohol does not affect just one person, but it disrupts the whole family.
