About AA – Alcoholics Anonymous
Alcoholics Anonymous of Fayetteville, North Carolina is part of the District 51 network of AA encompassing Cumberland, Robeson, and Bladen counties. While AA is not a direct treatment program, it has been integrated into many therapeutic programs as a way to guide and support your ongoing sobriety.
As an active program, Fayetteville District 51 has multiple committees that reach out to correction facilities and treatment facilities, plan annual assemblies, provide speakers and literature through a bookstore, and maintain the website so people can find meetings. The members are also connected to the community through networking with the local professional community through a public information committee.
Free Support for Addiction Recovery
AA is a free program and is solely supported through donations from participants. That makes it an affordable way for anyone to maintain their sobriety.
Using the 12 Steps for Recovery
The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous was written originally by the founders in 1939 and has been translated into over 70 languages. It focuses on the 12 steps and the 12 traditions followed by participants. Peer sponsors help sponsees work through the 12 steps as they learn to obtain and sustain abstinence.
AA is Available Everywhere
AA meetings in Fayetteville are an example of meeting availability everywhere. For those located outside areas where in person meetings are available, online meetings are now used. AA is an international program and meetings are also available in other countries.
The 12 steps have been foundational to the development of treatment programs for alcoholism and substance abuse for over 80 years. As science has evolved the treatment industry to incorporate medical interventions, neurobiology and cognitive restructuring, the 12 step program remains fundamental to building a support system that helps people obtain, sustain and maintain long term sobriety. As the program promotes, “It works if you work it.”
