Questions about AA in Chester
How many AA meetings are within driving distance of Chester?
18 within 25 miles, which is how far this page had to reach to show you a full week. 1 is in Chester itself.
Is there an AA meeting every day in Chester?
There is at least one listed every day of the week, including Sunday, which is the thinnest day here with 1 meeting.
Are the AA meetings in Chester open to anyone?
Most of what is listed is closed rather than open: 8 closed against 7 open. Closed means it is for people who want to stop drinking themselves.
How many AA groups are there in Chester?
One, and everything it runs is listed above. A group is the set of people who hold a meeting, so one group can account for several entries in the week.
How do meetings mark time without a drink?
A custom rather than a rule: small tokens marking stretches without a drink. It is one of the customs that varies most from one town to the next. Whether a group does chips at all is not recorded in the schedule above.
Does it cost anything to go to an AA meeting?
No, and nobody will ask you for anything on a first visit. Most groups ask members rather than visitors, and a newcomer putting in nothing is the ordinary case. Nobody will ask what you do for a living.
How do people choose between the meetings in Chester?
Whichever needs the least organizing to attend. Day and time matter most, because the one you can actually reach is the one you will attend, and after that open or closed is what changes who may sit in. Day and time matter more than format for a meeting you intend to keep going to.
