AA

So I thought about going to AA. After my most recent slip. I thought these AA meetings were everywhere? Turns out the closest one is held by the halfway house that is my client. So that's out. The next closest one is 30 mins away. I don't see myself traveling there. Is there a website I'm not finding to locate more local meetings?

Hi Magpie,

The listings for AA meetings vary from state to state, but you might try looking by county first. For example do a google search for: aa meetings in XXX county, XXX state. Looks like your state has districts, but if you search the county you should get what you need.

Drop me a message if you need any further help with this and I'll be glad to look into it.

Magpie,

Depending on where you live, there should be a variety of meetings, held on different days, at different places, at different times.

They could be at a church at noon or a city hall at 7p.

If you live in a major metropolitan area, you can call the central office for guidance.

Robert is right, lists are usually found online.

However, considering your circumstance with the one meeting you found, perhaps the central office can put you in touch with a meeting secretary who can help guide you to more meetings.

Keep us posted.

Good advice. I found a few local.

Great! FYI, I had to attend a couple different meetings to find one that I could gel with, so don't be surprised if it takes 2-3 tries to find your connection. However, even the ones that I didn't return to were worth the time. Good luck!

Magpie try this website and see if you like the idea of online meeting that they hold there....

www.intherooms.com they have either video meetings or online meetings and they have a sort of unsavory chat room system there too....

I haven't found a meeting yet. I actually emailed the one that I stopped by on Tuesday. I wanted to see if they could tell me about the middle of the day meeting.
I'm gonna look into that online group billwfriend suggested too.

Magpie,

Try AA.org. They are a place to type in your zip code. Takes you to another place to select your state. For me since I live in Connecticut it is ct-aa.org. Try typing in your state -aa.org.

Good luck

Oh. I go to meetings all over the state and even into Massachusetts. I will go to any lengths to stay sober... ANY lengths.
