Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a worldwide fellowship of men and women who share a desire to stop drinking alcohol, and subsequently maintain their sobriety. AA suggests members completely abstain from alcohol, regularly attend meetings with other members, and follow its program to help each other with their common purpose; to help members "stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety." AA created the twelve-step program used by similar recovery groups like Al-Anon, an auxiliary group for friends and family members of alcoholics; and Narcotics Anonymous, a group for substance abusers who may or may not also identify as alcoholics. Although AA's attrition rates are high, it can be effective as a treatment for alcoholism.

How do I use an Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor as a professional reference?
Q. I'm a recent college graduate searching out my entry level job as a preschool teacher or private school teacher. I've also been sober for 2 years in Alcoholics Anonymous. My sponsor has offered to be one of my references on my applications for employment but every time it asks "Relationship" I don't know what to put her as without giving away my anonymity. Does anyone know how to do this??

A. I'd suggest asking your sponsor if you could do some work for them --housework, yardwork, ect. And then you could say for applying that this person is a family friend who has paid you for odd jobs.

A. AA is a group of people whose drinking has caused their lives to become unmanageable in various ways: problems with relationships, work, school, legal problems, losses etc. They support and encourage members to abstain from alcohol by attendance at several different types of meetings: speaker (a person tells his/her story of recovery); discussion meeting (discussion of topics relating to recovery from alcohol abuse); step meeting (discussion of how the program works by working through each of the AA 12 Steps). There are AA groups in many countries around the world. Most towns of any size in the US have at least one meeting.
