The Grapevine/LaViña (our meeting in print) can be a lifeline to alcoholics living in remote communities and those with special needs. The magazine helps A.A. members in nursing homes, correctional facilities, and treatment facilities, and those serving in the military to name a few. LaViña has served Spanish alcoholics in the United States, Canada whenever Spanish speaking meetings internationally since 1996. Both magazines are powerful tools used to help inform the public and professional community about the way A.A. members stay sober.
