Questions about AA in Oakland
How many AA meetings are near Oakland?
15 inside 15 miles, across 3 cities. Every row says which town it is in and how far.
Is there an AA meeting every day in Oakland?
Every day. Saturday is the busiest with 4 meetings, and no day is empty.
What is the difference between an open and a closed meeting in Oakland?
2 of the 15 listed here are marked open, which means anyone can attend, including family. 6 are marked closed, for people who want to stop drinking.
How many AA groups are there in Oakland?
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.
Which meetings near Oakland are accessible?
2 of the meetings listed here are marked wheelchair accessible. Where a row says nothing it means the group has not filled that in, so it is worth a call either way.
Can family come to an AA meeting?
Open meetings are, yes. Closed ones are for people who want to stop drinking themselves. Some meetings run concurrently with Al-Anon in the same building, which is a practical arrangement for two people arriving together. The labels in the schedule above say which meetings in Oakland are open.
Is it a problem to be on antidepressants in AA?
Yes, and the fellowship's own literature puts the matter between a member and their doctor. Plenty of members have taken prescribed medication for decades while going to meetings. Never stop a prescribed medication on the strength of something said at a meeting.
Is AA the same as rehab?
They answer different questions, and the honest answer is that it depends on your situation. If drinking has reached the point where stopping brings on shaking, sweating or worse, that is a medical question and not a willpower one. The schedule above is the meeting side of that for Oakland.
