About M.A.A.G.A
Make Alcoholics Anonymous Great Again — a movement to bring the fire, unity, and purpose back to recovery.
Our Story
Where This Began
M.A.A.G.A was born out of a simple but powerful idea: recovery meetings should feel alive. Too many people leave feeling like they sat through a corporate meeting — quiet, restrained, and half-awake. We said: not anymore.
Not Political. Not Controversial.
"The name M.A.A.G.A is purely about bringing back the power, unity, and raw purpose that recovery was built on."
The name M.A.A.G.A — Make Alcoholics Anonymous Great Again — is not political and not controversial. It is purely about bringing back the power, unity, and raw purpose that AA was built on. It is about community doing the work.
