More than 21 million Americans struggle with addiction, although only about 11% of those individuals receive the care they need. One reason why that percentage is so low is that many don't know where to turn for help.

Attending Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) boosts an addict's chances of staying sober by 60%. As a result, many addicts turn to AA for help when breaking their addictions. 

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is one of the best-known groups for former addicts to come together and stay sober. Today, there are over 2 million AA members. Recovering addicts love this group. It's free and open to the public, and the supportive members help others stay sober.

AA is one of the most effective methods for getting sober.

If you're struggling with addiction, being able to talk to people who understand your battle is so important. AA gives you the infrastructure to lead a sober, joyous life with goals and landmarks along the way. 

Recovering from alcohol addiction is a major accomplishment for those who struggle. Addiction alters and changes a person's entire life. Being able to overcome those struggles is something that needs to be celebrated. 

Despite rumors to the contrary, a 2020 clinical review shows that AA and other 12-step programs significantly assist in recovery, and reduce healthcare costs associated with AUD.

Around one-third of alcoholics recover and stay sober. But a person's chances of recovering significantly increase when they seek help for their addiction.

Going through the AA process will be the most worthwhile thing a person with alcohol addiction can do, but it's also very likely to be the single hardest thing you have ever done. Relapses are common, in fact, they're expected, over 85% of people getting addiction treatment will relapse within their first year of treatment.
