Alcoholics 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 recover from alcoholism.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no fees for membership.

“We are very fortunate that AA is very active in our area. Meetings last an hour and all are welcome to attend,” Logan County AA organizers said.

In addition to AA, the Al-Anon support group for family and friends meets Thursday evenings at 7 p.m . at the First United Presbyterian Church in Bellefontaine. Participants are asked to enter the church through the rear entrance and then to take the stairs down to the basement. The meetings take place in the kitchen area.
