From Wikipedia:

AA) is an informal society for recovering alcoholics. Members meet in local groups that vary in size from a handful to many hundreds of individuals. In 2001 there were perhaps 100,000 groups worldwide, with more than two million members.

The stated primary purpose of the society is "to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety." AA teaches that an alcoholic, in order to recover, should abstain completely from alcohol on a daily basis; the society in turn offers a community of recovering people who support each other by "sharing experience, strength and hope" and often by working the suggested Twelve Steps together.

Alcoholics Anonymous was the first twelve-step program and has been the model for similar recovery groups such as Al-Anon/Alateen, Gamblers Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, Sexaholics Anonymous. Al-Anon and Alateen are companion programs designed to provide support for relatives and friends of alcoholics.
