About DAA Alabama
DAA Alabama is a local fellowship of people in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. We are not a treatment program, a religious organization, or a business. We are simply people helping people.
Who we are
Our fellowship is anonymous. Members are not required to give their last names, and everything shared in meetings is confidential. There are no leaders — every group is self-governing and self-supporting.
Meetings are peer-supported, meaning they are run by people in recovery, not professionals or counselors. This is intentional: the shared experience of addiction and recovery creates a connection that formal treatment alone cannot.
No dues, no fees
There is no charge to attend a DAA meeting. Meetings may pass a basket to cover expenses like rent or literature, but no one is required to contribute. Recovery should not depend on the ability to pay.
Non-affiliated
DAA has no opinion on outside issues and is not allied with any political party, religion, institution, or organization. We do not endorse or oppose any cause. Our primary purpose is to help drug addicts recover.
The 12-step program
The 12 steps are a set of spiritual principles developed to guide people through recovery. They were originally developed for alcoholism and have since been adapted for many different addictions. DAA uses the steps as a framework for personal growth and sustained recovery.
Working the steps is not required to attend meetings. Many people attend for months before deciding to work the steps with a sponsor. You go at your own pace.
