If you think you have a problem with drinking, we’re here to help.

Since it was founded in 1935 millions of people have heard or read about the fellowship called Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). There are now more than 2,000,000 men and women who call themselves members. These are individuals who once drank to excess, until they finally acknowledged that they could not handle alcohol, and now live a new way of life without it.

If you seem to be having trouble with your drinking, or if your drinking has reached the point where it worries you, you may be interested to know something about Alcoholics Anonymous and the AA 12 step program of recovery from alcoholism.

Call us on our English-speaking helpline (+34) 600 379 110 for more information.

If you think you have a problem with alcohol and would like to get in touch you can do so in any of the following ways –

• You can talk to someone in your area who has found a solution to the problems they had with alcohol by calling the helpline (+34) 600 379 110. Our helpline officer will be happy to talk to you and can put you in contact with someone who lives locally.
• If you would prefer to e-mail as a means of contact, then feel free to email us at aa.cds.helpline@gmail.com. Someone will respond to you as soon as possible.
• You can turn up at any meeting, details of which can be found here. We strongly suggest that when you arrive you let someone know that this is your first meeting, that way they will be able to provide you with information that most newcomers to AA find useful.
• Leave your details on the contact us form and someone will be in touch.

We have a team of volunteers based here on the Costa del Sol, in Spain, who have all experienced the problems that losing control of your drinking can bring. They are only too pleased and willing to be of help.

If you have already decided you want help, please get in touch, either through our helpline (see the number above) or by attending one of our many English-speaking AA meetings that you will find all over along the coast.

Remember there are no dues or fees for AA.

The only requirement to join us is a desire to stop drinking – If you don’t know how to stop, we are here to help you.
