Anniversary announcements published in the national AA newsletter are used to analyze membership turnover in Finnish AA. Of the total membership with at least 1 year of sobriety, close to 90% continue as sober members for another year. Of those having 1 year of sobriety, about two-thirds survive to the next year. The survival rate of members with between 2 and 5 years of sobriety is about 85%. Among members with more than 5 years of sobriety, the survival rate is above 90%. There are no gender differences in survival rates. The sober membership of AA represents between one-third and one-fifth of general population survey estimates of the number of abstaining former frequent drinkers with concerns about losing control over their drinking behavior.
发表在全国戒酒互助会通讯上的周年公告被用于分析芬兰戒酒互助会的会员流失情况。在至少保持清醒一年的会员总数中，近90%的人会继续保持清醒状态达一年之久。在保持清醒一年的人中，约三分之二能坚持到下一年。戒酒2至5年的会员存活率约为85%。在戒酒超过5年的会员中，存活率超过90%。存活率不存在性别差异。戒酒互助会的清醒会员人数占一般人群调查估计的有戒酒意愿且担心饮酒行为失控的前频繁饮酒者人数的三分之一至五分之一。
