Independent Sobriety Association International (ISAI)

In July 1991, abstainers of Russia, Ukraine, Latvia and Belarus established Independent Sobriety Association.

Now it is known as Independent Sobriety Association International (ISAI) with branches in Russia and Ukraine.

The main aims of ISAI are:
- decreasing total consumption of alcohol and other drugs,
- advocacy for choosing alcohol- and drug-free lifestyles.

ISAI is a voluntary, non-governmental, non-commercial organization. It is not controlled by any political party or movement.
It has about 200 members involved in treatment, rehabilitation, education and alcohol policy, and plays an important role in the development of local and national policies.

The official publication of ISAI is called Phoenix (Kazan, Russia). http://www.adic.org.ua/mnat/phoenix/index.html
