Northeastern Maryland Intergroup of AA

Do you have a drinking problem?

"It can be difficult for many of us to admit and accept that we have a problem with alcohol...In Alcoholics Anonymous, we have learned that anyone, anywhere, regardless of their personal circumstance, can suffer from the disease of alcoholism. We have also learned that anyone who wants to stop drinking can find help and recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous."
