Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership. They are self-supporting through their own contributions.
AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organisation or institution. Their primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
Alcoholics Anonymous holds regular meetings throughout the borough, including Ballymena at The Old Dispensary, 28 Mount Street daily at 8.30pm and some afternoons; and on Tuesdays at 8.15pm at The George Sloane Centre, Pennybridge.
