Northeastern Maryland Intergroup of AA

What Is Alcoholics Anonymous?

"We are a fellowship of men and women who have lost the ability to control our drinking and have found ourselves in various kinds of trouble as a result of drinking. We attempt...to create a satisfying way of life without alcohol. For this we find we need the help and support of other alcoholics in A.A."
