If you or a loved one is struggling with alcohol abuse or thinks you may have a drinking problem, the Carletonville branch of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is ready to help.

The Carletonville AA group recently changed its venue, and now meets every Tuesday at 18:00 at the NG Church Oberholzer, 25 Vlei Street.

AA is a worldwide fellowship of men and women who have faced alcohol-related challenges.

The programme is nonprofessional, self-supporting, multiracial, and apolitical, and membership is open to anyone who wants to stop drinking.

There are no age or education requirements. You may have a drinking problem if you regularly consume more than you intend, experience memory blackouts, or if alcohol is affecting your life and relationships.

If attempts to control your drinking have failed, it may be time to seek support.
