Questions about AA in Virden
How many AA meetings are near Virden?
17 inside 20 miles, across 7 cities. Every row says which town it is in and how far.
Is there an AA meeting every day in Virden?
Not every day. Meetings are listed on 5 days, and Sunday and Friday have nothing.
Can I go to a meeting in Virden if I am not sure I am an alcoholic?
Most of what is listed is closed rather than open: 12 closed against 5 open. Closed means it is for people who want to stop drinking themselves.
Are online AA meetings as good as going in person?
Yes. A lot of people began online and moved to a room later. 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. Nobody will follow up either way.
Do I have to call myself an alcoholic to go?
The fellowship's own wording is that the only requirement is a desire to stop drinking. Nobody in the room has the standing to tell you what you are, and the ones who have been there longest are usually clearest about that. If one room feels like the wrong fit, another will not.
What is an AA sponsor?
A person in the fellowship, not a professional of any kind. Nobody is assigned one. You ask, and they can decline, and often will suggest someone else. There is no hurry about it and no deadline on it.
