Top 30 Alcoholics Anonymous Blogs

alcoholism.jpgOne’s relationship with alcohol can be one of the most contentious aspects of life. There are safe and healthy pleasures that come with the sauce, but it can lead to abuse and self-harm. To get on the right track and sober up, many consecrate their lives to being safer and stronger with AA. Fortunately, writing about the experience can often help with recovery, and many AA members are blogging. Here’s our selection of the best of the Web’s AA-themed blogs.

Top Five

  1. The AA Blog: Anyone who suspects that they or a loved one may be falling into the grip of alcoholism may be wise to give this blog a visit. It’s a frequently updated and devoted page chock full of the latest information on recovery and support for this widespread disorder.

This blog makes it clear that recovery is not the end of the road. Rather, it’s merely a coveted step in a veritable journey of relief that continues as long as one keeps living.

To clarify, though, this blog has no affiliation with the Alcoholics Anonymous organization, other than I talk about that organization quite a bit.

And if anyone is wondering why I haven’t gotten this up until now, well, it took me that long to figure out how to put the little award thingy over there on right of the page!
