Founded in 1994, SMART (Self-Management And Recovery Training) has grown into one of the world’s largest nonprofit communities of mutual support groups devoted to ending the human suffering caused by addiction. SMART works for any kind of addiction – to drugs, alcohol and other substances, along with behaviors such as gambling, over-eating and compulsive shopping. Approximately 3,000 groups meet weekly in more than 20 countries to help participants use SMART self-empowering principles and practices to stop harmful behaviour and lead fulfilling and balanced lives. SMART meetings are held for individuals seeking support to overcome harmful addiction, including teens, students, military veterans and inmates in correctional facilities (the InsideOut program). SMART Family & Friends meetings help those with loved ones suffering from addiction; they learn self-care measures and nonjudgmental ways to help their loved ones seeking treatment.

Found in 180 countries, Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) is an international fellowship of people who have found a solution to a drinking problem. It is nonprofessional, self-supporting, multiracial, apolitical and unaffiliated with any religion. There are no age or education requirements. Membership is open to anyone who wants to do something about their alcohol problem. Although we cooperate with professionals to help alcoholics, our fellowship is self-supporting, and declines outside donations or corporate partnerships. We are not affiliated with other content displayed on the sidebar. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. Our official website, www.aa.org, is a great tool including pages ‘I am a professional working with alcoholics.’, ‘Looking for help with a drinking problem’, ‘What is A.A.’, short videos, a page for International Languages, "About A.A." a newsletter for professionals. Subscriptions to AAGrapevine and La Viña are also available at www.aagrapevine.org. Our free Meeting Guide app will identify A.A. meetings near you by distance, and shares how to contact local A.A. communities. A.A. members volunteer in their community to introduce A.A. to professionals and to carry the A.A. message to alcoholics. If you would like to discuss A.A. further, or have a local A.A. member from the U.S. or Canada present information about A.A. please contact cpc@aa.org or 212-870-3107.
