Alcoholics Anonymous (Great Britain)
A free national line for anyone worried about their drinking, answered by members.
AA's national helpline is answered by people who have been where the caller is. There is no charge, no referral, and no requirement to commit to anything.
It is listed here because drinking and despair travel together so often, and because a great many people reach one before they can name the other.
