About Bridging the Gap

Bridging the Gap is a 12th Step service of Alcoholics Anonymous District 17 in Florida. We offer newcomers a one-time connection with a temporary contact — someone who understands the challenges of early recovery and can help guide the way into meetings, fellowship, and hope.

Our mission is rooted in the spirit of service: to ensure that no one takes the first steps in sobriety alone. We help bridge the chasm between treatment or incarceration and the rooms of AA, where long-term sobriety can take root.

This program operates under the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering anonymity, compassion, and non-professional service freely given. All communication is voluntary, confidential, and guided by love and purpose.
