Questions about AA in Crystal Lake

How many AA meetings a week does Crystal Lake have?

44 meetings in town, out of 4,366 across Illinois.

Can I find a meeting in Crystal Lake on any day?

Every day. Friday is the busiest with 9 meetings, and no day is empty.

Are the AA meetings in Crystal Lake open to anyone?

Most of what is listed is closed rather than open: 35 closed against 7 open. Closed means it is for people who want to stop drinking themselves.

What is the difference between a group and a meeting?

38 groups listed in Crystal Lake, and each one is linked above with the meetings it holds.

What is an AA meeting actually like?

It opens with housekeeping, which is a quiet stretch to arrive in. You arrive, sit down and listen, and the chair may ask whether anyone is new, which you can answer or let pass. It is worth checking the time with the group before a long drive.

What does a sponsor actually do?

A member who has done it already and is willing to do it alongside you. The arrangement is informal and unpaid, it starts with one person asking another, and it carries none of the confidentiality protections a clinician's would. There is no hurry about it and no deadline on it.

Can I go to AA before I have stopped?

Yes. The requirement is a desire to stop, not having managed it. A larger meeting is easier to arrive at unnoticed than a small one. Do not drive to a meeting having been drinking.
