Alcohol
Alcoholics Anonymous
Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) has been helping alcoholics recover for more than 80 years. A.A.'s program of recovery is built on the simple foundation of one alcoholic sharing with another. If your drinking is out of control, A.A. can help. Read about services and supports available or to find a group near you.
Aging & Alcohol
As you age, your body accumulates more fat and less muscle mass and water, which means your body processes alcohol more slowly and you become more sensitive to its effects. The amount of alcohol in your blood after one drink is higher now than it was when you were younger. Have you noticed that alcohol affects you differently than it used to? It could be time to rethink how you drink. See the Canadian Coalition for Seniors Mental Health pamphlet on Aging & Alcohol.
Drugs
Narcotics Anonymous
Narcotics Anonymous offers recovery to addicts around the world. They focus on the disease of addiction rather than any particular drug with a message broad enough to attract addicts from any social class or nationality. When new members come to meetings, the focus is on their desire for freedom from active addiction and how NA can be of help.
