Questions about AA in Ames

How many AA meetings a week does Ames have?

46 meetings in town, out of 485 across Iowa.

Can I find a meeting in Ames on any day?

There is at least one listed every day of the week, including Sunday, which is the thinnest day here with 4 meetings.

Are the AA meetings in Ames open to anyone?

31 of the 46 listed here are marked open, which means anyone can attend, including family. 11 are marked closed, for people who want to stop drinking.

What is the difference between AA and NA?

A.A. is about drinking and N.A. is about drugs, and the format is close to identical. Both are free, both are run by their own members and neither takes outside money. Trying one of each is a reasonable way to decide.

Can I go to meetings if I am on medication for drinking?

Yes, and the honest warning is that individual members sometimes say otherwise. Individual members sometimes voice firm views and those views are their own, so a decision about prescribed medication belongs with the person who prescribed it. A.A. has no official position on any of it, whatever an individual member says.

What is an AA sponsor?

One member helping another, which is the whole of the arrangement. 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. Asking in person after a meeting works better than asking during one.
