We aim to understand how the subjects achieve themselves in Alcoholics Anonimous (A.A.) live community experience in the context and how this experience connects to personal formation and accomplishment. We carry out interviews with four participants of A.A., whose data were analyzed phenomenologically. We learned that the encounter with the other enables reassurance of the life and the alcoholic condition, personal growth and accomplishment; the communitarian companionship is marked by solidarity and friendship relationship, building the context of the A.A., wich supports the recovery process. We conclude that the personal accomplishment, the achievement and maintenance of sobriety are favored by personal training of community ties in the A.A. and by line between formal principles and personal values.
