Getting Help for you or loved one

The primary purpose of Alcoholics Anonymous is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.  We are a worldwide fellowship of alcoholics who have struggled with drinking in our pasts, and have found a common solution to our common problem through faith in a higher power, helping each other in recovery, and sharing our experience, strength and hope with others.  

If you feel that you or a loved one is an alcoholic, we know from our own experiences that the principles of AA can transform hopelessness, fear and a feeling of uselessness into serenity, a sense of purpose, and freedom from the bondage of alcohol, alcohol abuse, alcohol use disorder, alcohol dependence, and addiction to other substances.  Often, alcoholics like us suffer from mental health issues, and we believe that the principles of AA can help us overcome these challenges as well.  Years of drinking can result in liver disease, cirrhosis, or alcohol poisoning, which will eventually lead to death unless the alcoholic can admit the disease, and ask others for help.  We have been freed from withdrawal symptoms and cravings, and have found a life once again (or for the first time) that is fulfilling, peaceful, and serene, which most of us believed was an impossibility.

At the Show Me Group of Alcoholics Anonymous, we offer in-person meetings 7 days a week at varying times, most of which are Zoom hybrid meetings, where the Zoom attendee can listen, share and participate during the in-person meeting.  Whether it's your first AA meeting, or if you have tried to stay sober and relapsed, we are here to welcome you and show you what we did to recover from the disease of alcoholism.  Helping other alcoholics keeps us sober, one day at a time.  

AA is not affiliated with any sect, denomination, politics, organization, or institution.
