Alcoholics Anonymous and Al Anon in Peru

Updated 19 September 2018
 
Most of these meetings are held in English. Here's AA's official website and here's information about meetings in Lima. You can also find contact information on their site.

There are many stories out there from men and women who have recovered from alcoholism. The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous is by far the most famous. Here's a blog written by a recovering alcoholic called Essentials of Recovery.



CUSCO
I found 2 Facebook pages for Cusco and have organized the information from them below. Please try all numbers and addresses until you find help. All the information that I found was in Spanish. I have not been able to find any meetings in English, however, still contact them as they might be able to put you in touch with someone who speaks English.


Al-Anon
"Grupo Solidaridad" (Al-Anon) El Triunfo Chapel located at 309 Calle El Triunfo. Meets Thursdays from 4:30pm a 5:45pm.
Alcoholicos Anonimos Cusco
They have 8 meetings listed on their Facebook page and I've kept the numbering system they used on their Facebook page so you can easily find it there as well.
  1. Grupo Compartir: Jr. Pumacahua N° 130 Urb Tahuantinsuyo. Meets Monday to Saturday from 8:30pm to 10pm.

  19. Thank you so much for posting all of this. Here is an update as of today, June 21, 2012.

    This is an English speaking meeting

    GOOD SHEPHERD (GRUPO AA in English).
    Adress: Av. Santa Cruz 491 MIRAFLORES /
    Contact: Bob D Telephone:. 4411947 scotrdc@yahoo.com Tuesday and Thursday 7.00pm to 8.00 pm

    Carmelitas Catholic Church: The info on this is totally correct, however, it is not an English speaking meeting. This should not stop anyone from going, as the group is very welcoming and understanding, and many members do speak and uderstand English, but the meeting is in Spanish.

    Av Ricardo Palma 1020 Miraflores: This address no longer exists, I beleive. I searched for it for quite some time, but 1018 and 1022 are the only addresses. the building may have been torn down. This was somewhat confirmed by some Carmelitas members.

    In my experience? Go to Carmelitas and ask for info on other meetings. Very good people, as one can usually expect at an AA meeting.

      I’ve asked in Expatriates in Peru on FB and if I find out any info, I will post it ASAP!
