Alcoholics Anonymous is a global, peer-led mutual-aid fellowship dedicated to abstinence-based recovery from alcoholism through its spiritually inclined twelve-step program.

The AA Grapevine is the international journal of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). It's a monthly magazine that's published for AA members and friends who want to share their AA experiences. The AA Grapevine is often referred to as "our meeting in print".

HIMS is a voluntary, occupational substance abuse treatment program, specific to commercial pilots, that coordinates the identification, treatment, and return to work process for affected aviators.

Al‑Anon is a mutual support program for people whose lives have been affected by someone else’s drinking. By sharing common experiences and applying the Al-Anon principles, families and friends of alcoholics can bring positive changes to their individual situations, whether or not the alcoholic admits the existence of a drinking problem or seeks help.

Many of your questions answered about health issues

Everyone needs an advocate—a true ally. For pilots and those in related aviation professions, the Aviation Medicine Advisory Service (AMAS) is that trusted advocate. At AMAS, we‘ve made it our mission to streamline the complex medical certification process that keeps the aviation industry aloft.

Aviation Family Fund (AFF) assists in providing supplemental funding during the recovery process  for alcohol and drug-related dependence, and is available to anyone in the aviation industry.

A Network focused on the Aviation Family Community and understanding Pilot Addiction and Mental Health.

Together, we navigate the complex journey as a Spouse, Family member, or support person of a pilot dealing with addiction and mental health challenges. We provide a supportive family community to share experiences, access resources, and find strategies to cope with the unique stressors faced by those supporting pilots in recovery.

This Al-Anon group of the Birds of a Feather has been established to address the special needs of family members of pilots whose lives have been affected by alcoholism. BOAF Al-Anon is also valuable to help our sober pilot members who are parents of alcoholics or are adult children of alcoholics. 

BOAF Al-Anon recognizes the unique pressures of an aviation family. Therefore, we meet to provide a forum where both recovery and problems peculiar to aviation families can be discussed with impunity.
