What these mean

Open
Anyone may attend, including family, friends and people who are simply curious. Nobody has to say why they came.
Closed
For people who have a desire to stop drinking. If you are not sure that is you, an open meeting is the safe first choice.
Online
Held online rather than in a room. The row shows the Zoom details where the group publishes them.
Newcomer
Aimed at people at their first few meetings. Someone will usually explain how it works before it starts.
Women
Only women attend.
Men
Only men attend.
Wheelchair Access
The room can be reached and used in a wheelchair.
Discussion
A topic is raised and whoever wants to speak does. You can sit through the whole hour without saying anything.
Speaker
One member tells their own story for most of the hour. Nothing is asked of anyone else, which makes it the easiest kind to sit through on a first visit.
Step Study
The group works through the Twelve Steps in order.
Literature
Reading and discussion from AA literature.

Questions about AA in Columbia

How many AA meetings are within driving distance of Columbia?

59 within 10 miles, which is how far this page had to reach to show you a full week. 3 are in Columbia itself.

Can I find a meeting in Columbia on any day?

There is at least one listed every day of the week, including Sunday, which is the thinnest day here with 2 meetings.

Can I go to a meeting in Columbia if I am not sure I am an alcoholic?

18 of the 59 listed here are marked open, which means anyone can attend, including family. 7 are marked closed, for people who want to stop drinking.

How do people handle a family member who refuses help?

There is no dependable way to make another person go. Nobody at a meeting will intervene with a third party, and no group is set up to. That is the same across Illinois.

Do I have to stop drinking before I go to a meeting?

No. There is no qualification to meet and no label to accept first. The question of whether the word fits tends to answer itself later and not at the door. An open meeting is the safe first choice if you are not sure, and the table above says which those are.

What are the twelve steps?

There are twelve of them, worked in order and usually with a sponsor. They are read aloud at the start of many meetings, so you will hear them whether or not you work them.
