If you want to stop drinking, we can help!

Yes. AA Bali does not charge membership fees or meeting admission. There is no cost to attend a meeting. Under the Seventh Tradition, AA groups remain self-supporting through their own members.

Meetings are held across Seminyak, Ubud, Canggu, Uluwatu, Sanur and other parts of Bali and nearby islands. Check the AA Bali meetings page for the current day, time, venue and directions before you travel.

You do not have to share if you do not want to. You are welcome to come, sit and listen. Newcomers are encouraged to introduce themselves by first name if they feel comfortable, but there is no pressure. It is normal to feel nervous, and we will be glad to hear from you whenever you are ready.

No. There is no registration, appointment or membership card. Choose a meeting, arrive a few minutes early and take a seat. If you are unsure where the room is, ask the venue staff or contact the AA Bali hotline.

Yes. If drinking is worrying you, you are welcome to listen and learn more. Open meetings welcome anyone interested in AA. Closed meetings are for AA members or people who think they may have a drinking problem. The meeting schedule shows the meeting type.

AA is a spiritual, not religious, program. Members come from many faiths and from no faith at all. Each person is free to develop their own understanding of a power greater than themselves; nobody will tell you what you must believe.

Anonymity is a foundation of AA. People generally use first names, and members are asked not to identify who they saw or repeat personal stories outside the meeting. You decide how much you want to share about yourself.

Absolutely. Bali meetings bring together locals, travellers, digital nomads, entrepreneurs, retirees, FIFO workers and people from every stage of sobriety. You do not need to live in Bali or know anyone in the room to attend.

Meetings usually begin with a welcome and short readings. Members then share their experience, strength and hope, discuss recovery or read from AA literature. You can simply listen. Afterward, people may introduce themselves, exchange phone numbers or invite you for coffee. Read our first-meeting guide if you would like more detail.

Find the next meeting and come a little early. Tell someone it is your first meeting and that you would like help. You can also call or WhatsApp the AA Bali hotline to speak with a member. AA Bali is not an emergency or medical service; if you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department.
