Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is an international peer-led mutual aid fellowship dedicated to abstinence-based recovery from alcoholism through its spiritually-inclined Twelve Step program. Following its Twelve Traditions, AA is non-professional and non-denominational as well as apolitical and unaffiliated. In 2020 AA estimated its worldwide membership to be over two million, with 75% of those in the U.S. and Canada. AA holds no opinion on the disease model of alcoholism—or on any medical issue, but many AA members have taken a large role in making it popular. Regarding its effectiveness, a 2020 review showed within all observed demographic groups that clinical interventions intended to increase AA participation (AA/Twelve Step Facilitation) resulted in higher abstinence rates compared to other well-established treatments. Most studies in the review found that AA participation also led to lower health costs. More information...
