Introduction to AA

On this page you will find links to people and resources that can help the suffering alcoholic make a start to a lasting personal recovery. Alcoholics helping alcoholics and where to find the help. Starting with the phone numbers above which will quickly connect you to another alcoholic who has found recovery in our fellowship.

AA is a worldwide movement with about three million members. So if you are visiting our site with an alcohol problem don’t think for one minute that you are alone and that your position is hopeless. There are millions of us who have found recovery and a happy and fulfilled life in AA. You have nothing to lose by trying the program that has worked for us and in our many meetings around Devon and elsewhere, you will have the evidence of recovery in front to you. It is not a theory. It works.

Support for Families and Partners

Alcoholism also has a profound impact on families and they invariably need help too.
Al-Anon UK is our sister organisation which provides help and support for alcohol affected families and partners.
You can also contact Al-Anon on 020 7403 0888
