Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings are gatherings of individuals who share the common goal of overcoming alcohol addiction. These meetings offer a safe and supportive environment where members can share their experiences, learn from others, and gain the strength to continue their journey towards recovery. Attending AA meetings is a crucial step for many individuals seeking recovery, providing a sense of community and ongoing support.
