Although the D.C. Bar Lawyer Assistance Program (LAP) is not affiliated with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or any other program, the LAP finds that most recovering lawyers find active participation in one or more 12–step programs to be an important part in their staying clean and sober. Both Virginia and the District have meetings attended primarily by lawyers. These meetings are intended to provide an anonymous and confidential environment where recovering lawyers can work together on their common problems.
