Alcoholics Anonymous World Services (AA) has been highly praised for its life-saving abilities by those who have attended its meetings. However, some members have expressed concern about the organization's financial practices, noting that they are not a typical non-profit and have significant funds in their accounts. Despite this, AA has been commended for its welcoming and positive atmosphere, which has been found to be uplifting by those who have attended, including non-alcoholics. AA has support groups for various issues, such as Emotions Anonymous, Adult Children of Alcoholics, and even a Covid support group. AA has also been recognized for providing a Veteran's suicide hotline, which is accessible to both civilians and veterans.
