Questions about AA in Elmwood Park

How many AA meetings are within driving distance of Elmwood Park?

68 within 5 miles, which is how far this page had to reach to show you a full week. 3 are in Elmwood Park itself.

Can I find a meeting in Elmwood Park on any day?

Every day. Wednesday is the busiest with 14 meetings, and no day is empty.

Are the AA meetings in Elmwood Park open to anyone?

7 of the 68 listed here are marked open, which means anyone can attend, including family. 59 are marked closed, for people who want to stop drinking.

How long does an AA meeting last?

Typically an hour, occasionally an hour and a half. The other half of the question, how long people keep attending, has no standard answer and ranges from a few weeks to the rest of a life. An hour is the usual length and ninety minutes is the long end of it.

Can I go to a meeting from home?

Both are used heavily and neither is treated as second best. An online meeting removes the drive, the parking and the walking in, which for a first visit is most of what people are afraid of. The pages for nearby towns are linked below if the local times do not work.

Do I have to call myself an alcoholic to go?

No. The only requirement is a desire to stop drinking, and a desire is not the same as having managed it. The fellowship's own wording is a desire to stop drinking, which is deliberately a want rather than an achievement. It holds across Illinois and is not a local rule.
