We do not offer treatment; AA is a fellowship with a programme of action for those seeking help where alcohol has become a problem.<\/p>\n<p>AA is also a good waiting room before treatment and excellent aftercare after treatment.<\/p>\n\t<h2>About us<\/h2>\nAlcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.<br \/>\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership. We are self-supporting through our own contributions. AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, political, organisation or institution. AA neither advocates nor opposes any cause. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.\n<p><strong>Er AA religi\u00f8st?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, AA is not religious, but AA's 12 steps to recovery are based on spiritual principles in the sense that they focus on inner change and personal growth, rather than on religious dogmas or medical treatment.<\/p>\n\t<h2>What not to do at AA<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Does not keep membership lists or any other form of archive<\/li>\n<li>Does not participate in or contribute to alcohol research<\/li>\n<li>Does not affiliate with any other outside enterprises, although AA members, groups, or the General Service Office may cooperate with them<\/li>\n<li>Does not follow up or check on its members<\/li>\n<li>Does not interfere in medical or psychiatric matters<\/li>\n<li>Does not provide nursing services, places in detoxification clinics or treatment facilities<\/li>\n<li>Does not provide housing, food, clothing, employment, money or any other form of welfare or social services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<h2>We recommend<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Se filmen &laquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/aarogaland.no\/en\/veien-til-aa-2\/\">The Way to AA<\/a>&raquo; (6 min)<\/li>\n<li>Se filmen &laquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HUngLgGRJpo\">Nuggets<\/a>&raquo; (5 min)<\/li>\n<li>Read <a href=\"https:\/\/aarogaland.no\/en\/mer-om-sykdommen-alkoholisme\/\">More about the disease of alcoholism<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/aarogaland.no\/en\/ta-testen\/\">12 questions<\/a> To the one who drinks<\/li>\n<li>Read <a href=\"https:\/\/aarogaland.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Alcoholics-Anonymous-most-effective-path-to-alcohol-abstinence.pdf\">Alcoholics Anonymous: the most effective path to alcohol abstinence<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Downloadable leaflets:<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anonymealkoholikere.no\/2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hvis-du-er-fagmann.pdf\">If you are a professional<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anonymealkoholikere.no\/2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/205-A%CC%8A-bygge-bro-over-kl%C3%B8ften.pdf\">Bridging the gap<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anonymealkoholikere.no\/2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/AA-i-et-n%C3%B8tteskall.pdf\">AA in a nutshell<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anonymealkoholikere.no\/2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hvordan-skal-anonymitet-forsta%CC%8As_.pdf\">How should anonymity be understood?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anonymealkoholikere.no\/2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/306-Problemdrikkeren.pdf\">The problem drinker in the workplace<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anonymealkoholikere.no\/2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/AA-i-samfunnet.pdf\">AA in the community<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Further brochures are available at your nearest AA group or at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anonymealkoholikere.no\/2\/butikk\/\">online shop<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anonymealkoholikere.no\/2\/produkt\/aa-i-behandlingsinstitusjoner\/\">AA in treatment centres<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anonymealkoholikere.no\/2\/produkt\/aa-medlemmet-legemidler-og-andre-stoffer\/\">AA-medlemmet &#8211; legemidler og andre stoffer<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anonymealkoholikere.no\/2\/produkt\/problem-knyttet-til-annet-enn-alkohol\/\">Problems unrelated to alcohol<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anonymealkoholikere.no\/2\/produkt\/sporsmal-som-ofte-blir-stilt-om-anonyme-alkoholikere\/\">Frequently Asked Questions about Alcoholics Anonymous<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anonymealkoholikere.no\/2\/produkt\/unge-mennesker-og-aa\/\">Young people and AA<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\u00d8nsker dere bes\u00f8k &#8211; kontakt oss p\u00e5 <a href=\"mailto:post@aarogaland.no\">post@aarogaland.no<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Helsevesenet Iflg.
