If you have a drinking problem and want to contact someone in Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.), this website offers a number of ways to do this either locally in Area 78 (Alberta, parts of SE & NE B.C. and parts of the Northwest Territories to the Arctic Circle), nationally (other provinces in Canada), or internationally.
In "Contact Information" you will find phone numbers for those places in Area 78 that have some type of answering service under the heading "AA Help Lines".
The telephone numbers listed under "Central Offices & Intergroups" are typically listings in larger urban centres. They may have staff & volunteers to answer calls on many matters pertaining to A.A., plus they often have A.A. literature for sale.
The heading "Area 78" under "Contact Information" provides a means of e-mail contact with the various people serving the members of Alcoholics Anonymous and the general public in Area 78. If you are not certain whom to contact with your question, click on "Service" for function descriptions and explanations, then e-mail to the one you think most likely could answer it. You will receive a response, typically within seven days.
Information on an A.A. meeting near you can also be found by typing the name of the town or city in the box to the left under the heading "SEARCH MEETINGS", then click on the word "SEARCH" below the box or hit "Enter".
