1,264,716 members in the US is the very conservative estimate from my link.

The latest, best study of population data is from 1994, the percentage is 7.4% of the population is alcoholic.

There are roughly 300,000,000 people in the US.

300,000,000 times 7.4% = 22,200,000 alcoholics in the US.

We are 1,264,716 / 22,200,000 = about 5.7% of alcoholics sober in AA, or better than one in twenty. And, again, that's a very conservative estimate.

I have no way to estimate how many have tried, or how many are sober outside AA.
