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.
