Questions about AA in San Mateo
How many AA meetings are there in San Mateo?
36 meetings in town, out of 22,123 across California.
Which day is busiest for AA in San Mateo?
Every day. Monday is the busiest with 7 meetings, and no day is empty.
Can I go to a meeting in San Mateo if I am not sure I am an alcoholic?
Most of what is listed is closed rather than open: 2 closed against 1 open. Closed means it is for people who want to stop drinking themselves.
Is going to meetings enough on its own?
No, and anyone at a meeting will tell you the same. If drinking has reached the point where stopping brings on shaking, sweating or worse, that is a medical question and not a willpower one. If you are weighing the two up, the meetings are the half you can test this week at no cost.
How do people go back to AA after a relapse?
Most members have done it at least once. A sponsor is the usual first call rather than the meeting itself. That is as true across California as it is here.
What are the twelve steps?
Twelve of them, and most people take months or years over the set. Working them is usually done with a sponsor rather than alone, because several are hard to be honest about by yourself. Reading them before you go is optional and not expected.
