Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is an informal meeting society for recovering and recovered alcoholics, with the stated purpose to help its members "to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety." AA suggests that alcoholics follow its program of recovery and abstain from alcohol in order to recover from alcoholism, and share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem.

AA was the first twelve-step program and has been the model for similar recovery groups like Narcotics Anonymous and Gamblers Anonymous. Al-Anon/Alateen are programs designed to provide support for relatives and friends of alcoholics. Although AA is not for everyone and attrition rates are high, there is evidence supporting the effectiveness of AA as a treatment for alcoholism.
