Wit’s End

The Official Alcoholics Anonymous Toronto Blog for Recovery, Meetings, and AA Resources


Welcome to Wit’s End, the official Alcoholics Anonymous Toronto blog.

Here you’ll find articles about Alcoholics Anonymous, recovery, meetings, the Twelve Steps, and practical guidance for newcomers, members, and anyone seeking information about sobriety. Whether you’re attending your first meeting or supporting someone on their recovery journey, our goal is to provide trustworthy, helpful resources that answer common questions and connect you with the AA community in Toronto.

Submit Your Story for the Blog

Submit your story for the Blog ‘Wits End’

Our website Blog Wit’s End allows a little more flexibility. If you have a story to tell, submissions of approximately 1,000–3,000 words are welcome.

Photos are encouraged where appropriate, but please preserve anonymity. An old photograph of a meeting room, slogan board, literature display, anniversary memorabilia or other non-identifying image can add wonderful historical context without showing members’ faces.

As always, submissions should reflect A.A.’s spiritual principles and literature while avoiding affiliation with or promotion of any particular religion.
