What is the best way to get AA help for a problem drinker?
By far the best way to get help is to give them the A.A. telephone number (0800 917 7650) or to call the number while the patient or client is with you and hand them the phone.
The A.A. telephone helpline is manned by A.A. members with at least one year of sobriety who will offer to arrange for a member to contact them to take them to a local meeting. A similar service is also available by email by writing tohelp@alcoholics-anonymous.org.uk
