From the GSO Public Information Desk:  "We are pleased to share with the Fellowship the results of the 2022 A.A. Membership Survey.

More than 6,000 A.A. members took part in a randomized membership survey that was conducted in 2022. The previous survey was conducted in 2014. 

For the first time, the survey included topics regarding online A.A. meetings, which became more widely available during the COVID-19 pandemic. Other findings included:  

• 41% of A.A. members have been with the program for more than 20 years

• Members attend an average of two A.A. meetings per week

• 75% of members have attended an A.A. meeting virtually (online or by phone)

• 79% of members prefer in-person meetings

While overall there were no major changes in membership characteristics since 2014, the results did show an increase in “old timers,” members with more than 20 years continuous sobriety. In addition, 89 percent of survey-takers indicated they have a “home group,” a meeting they attend regularly, indicating a strong connection with the Fellowship among an overwhelming majority of members."
