March 4, 2021 – A representative of Alcoholics Anonymous San Antonio, Pam, who wished to remain anonymous, said the program spreads by word-of-mouth, is voluntary and is not funded by anyone other than its members.
Pam said the stigma of addiction is now fading with the discovery that it is a disease. Alcohol Abuse Disorder changes a person’s brain chemistry and some people are genetically predisposed to it.
Alcohol addiction leads to increased tolerance, brain and body damage, and social issues. Like any disease, if ignored, the symptoms get worse. A.A. wants you to know that treatment is available, free of charge.
