    If alcohol is causing problems and you are looking for help in Dumaguete, Alcoholics Anonymous meetings may be a place to start.

    AA is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other so they may solve their common problem and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety.

    You do not need to register before attending an AA meeting. You do not need to explain yourself. Many people attend their first meeting simply to listen.

    AA is not a treatment center and does not provide medical care. If you may be experiencing a medical emergency or dangerous alcohol withdrawal symptoms, contact local emergency or medical services immediately.
