Is alcohol causing problems in your life?

Do you have a desire to stop drinking?

 

 

Countless police officers and retirees have found the solution in Alcoholics Anonymous!

 

To add your group to this list, or for some pointers on setting up a new group, please e-mail

Andy O.  or call (916) 560-3090 

 

If you wish your physical location included, we will do so upon request.

 

Remember, that first meeting is a BIG step for newcomers, so let's make that step a little easier for them.  You do no one any good if you keep yourselves a secret!

 

"When anyone, anywhere reaches out for help, I want the hand of A.A. always to be there--and for that, I am responsible."

 

 

LAW ENFORCEMENT AA MEETING DIRECTORY

 

 

Some groups have not provided contact information or locations for their meetings; in those cases, we have at least provided you a contact for open, public meetings of AA in green letters.  We encourage you to attend one of these until you can locate a LE group.

 

 

 If alcohol is not a problem for you, there are other 12-Step programs that can be of help.  To see these meetings, go to this webpage.
