The Southeastern Pennsylvania Intergroup Association of Alcoholics
Anonymous welcomes you to its official web site. SEPIA covers the
Southeastern Pennsylvania area, including the city of Philadelphia and
the surrounding counties of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery.
Our primary purpose is to carry the message of recovery to the alcoholic
who still suffers. If you want to drink, that's your business; if you
want to stop, it's ours. We can help! Please call 215-923-7900.
The S.E.P.I.A. Office Hours: Monday thru Friday 9:00 am - 5:00 pm.
ATTENTION TO GROUPS IN THE FIVE COUNTY AREA:
Please let the office know if your group is hosting an alkathon as we
get many calls during this time and have little information about them.
Please call 215-923-7900 as there are many alcoholics who would benefit
from this information.
The
office will be close at 3 pm on Christmas Eve Monday, December 24th and
it will be closed all day on Tuesday, December 25th, 2012 and Tuesday,
January 1st, 2013 so the office staff can celebrate the holidays with
their families.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED:
SEPIA is always in need of volunteers to help carry the message of
recovery. You simply have to show up. Most committees do not have a
length of sobriety requirement. There are several ways to get involved.
- Volunteer at the SEPIA office. We ask one year of continuous
sobriety to answer phones at the office. If you have less than a year,
there are plenty of things you can do to help. For instance, we can
always use help putting our newsletter, Interviews, together toward the
end of each month.
