The primary purpose of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is to carry its message of recovery to the alcoholic seeking help. Almost every alcoholism treatment tries to help the alcoholic maintain sobriety. Together, we can do what none of us could accomplish alone. We can serve as a source of personal experience and be an ongoing support system for recovering alcoholics. AA meets at 8:00 pm seven days a week at the Triangle Club (3451 Pueblo); and 7:00 pm Tuesday at the Church of Christ; call for more times.
