Exhibition in Portsmouth Marks 75 Years of Alcoholics Anonymous

WE DON’T NEED NO BITTERS –

Sept. 3, 2021 – ‘AA started from a meeting between two seemingly hopeless alcoholics in 1935. Today AA has approximately three million members worldwide and the success of AA in Great Britain has helped many thousands of people to recover from alcoholism.

‘We hope that this exhibition will give an understanding of our history and how AA continues to offer support to anyone who suffers from alcoholism.’

AA’s public information liaison officer for the south east said: ‘AA has helped thousands of people within Portsmouth and the surrounding area. There are daily meetings held both face to face and also online.

‘We have seen an increase in people reaching out for help during the pandemic and have witnessed an increase in new members attending meetings.’
