Abstract

This study is an attempt to determine (1) whether the four selected groups of Alcoholics Anonymous ranged along an informal-formal continuum; (2) how effective these four groups have been, in terms of sobriety achieved and maintained by their members; and (3) whether there is a negative relationship between the formalization of the Alcoholics Anonymous groups and the achieving and maintenance of sobriety.
