Alcoholics Anonymous Portugal is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength and hope to address a common problem with alcohol and support others seeking recovery. Its primary purpose is to maintain sobriety and help other people with alcoholism achieve it. Membership is open to anyone who wants to stop drinking; there are no admission fees or dues, and the fellowship is self-supporting through its members’ contributions. AA states that it is not affiliated with any sect, religion, political institution or organisation, and does not endorse or oppose causes.

The Portuguese organisation helps people find local and online meetings, with a dedicated helpline at 217 162 969. Its website provides information for newcomers, resources about alcoholism and AA, daily reflections, member testimonials, audio and video, and details of events and service opportunities. Visitors can read the Partilhar magazine, explore AA literature in print and digital catalogues, and access information intended for health professionals and people concerned about someone else’s drinking.
