24 Hour Helpline 510-839-8900 English 510-502-8560 Espanol Helplines are staffed 24/7 by A.A. member volunteers who have solved their drinking problem.
East Bay Intergroup offers a telephone support service 7 days a week to help alcoholics in need. We refer callers to current Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and provide current AA meeting directory information. Additionally, we have 12th-step volunteers to talk to when a suffering alcoholic is in need.
We are sober alcoholics doing what we can to stay sober and to help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety. It is important for us to remember, often a person’s first introduction to AA is through Teleservice!
“I learned ... that I was a sick man emotionally and physically. As every AA today knows, this knowledge can be an enormous relief. I no longer needed to consider myself essentially a fool or a weakling.”
AA Helpline is a great way to be of service to your fellow alcoholic. All you need is a phone, access to our meeting listings, and your experience in AA. Your shifts, your service, is from the comfort of your own home or out and about using landline or cell.
If you have greater than 6 mos. sobriety and would like to be of service, please contact Kenny at, helpline@eastbayaa.org

By our Twelve Steps we have recovered, by our Twelve Traditions we have unified, and through our Third Legacy -- Service -- we shall carry the AA message down through the corridors of time to come.

can find recovery from alcoholism.

The EBI Board of Directors seeks members interested in service to apply for a Board position for the 2025-2026 term (Jan 2025-Dec 2026). This is a deeply gratifying way to help our community! We seek new members who have experience with accounting, budgets, and technological experience.
