Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) has a number of support groups in the Ryedale for people who are looking for help.
A spokesperson said: " Millions of men and women have heard or read about the unique Fellowship called Alcoholics Anonymous since its founding in 1935. Of these, more than two million now call themselves members. People who once drank to excess, they finally acknowledged that they could not handle alcohol, and now live a new way of life without it.
"Support is available in Ryedale for people that may be struggling and needing help."
