Questions about AA in Lawrence
How many AA meetings are near Lawrence?
31 within 5 miles, which is how far this page had to reach to show you a full week. 11 are in Lawrence itself.
Is there an AA meeting every day in Lawrence?
Not every day. Meetings are listed on 6 days, and Sunday has nothing.
Are the AA meetings in Lawrence open to anyone?
21 of the 31 listed here are marked open, which means anyone can attend, including family. 9 are marked closed, for people who want to stop drinking.
What is the difference between a group and a meeting?
4 groups, the largest being New Beginnings with 6 meetings a week.
Will a meeting sign proof of attendance?
Often yes, but no group is obliged to and some decline on principle. A few groups decline because they take the view that A.A. should not be part of a legal process, and that is a legitimate position within the fellowship. If no local group will sign, another on this page may.
Can I go to AA if I am on medication?
A.A. as a fellowship takes no position on medication a doctor has prescribed. Plenty of members have taken prescribed medication for decades while going to meetings. Your doctor is the right person to raise any of this with.
Can I go to AA before I have stopped?
You can attend having had a drink, and people do. A larger meeting is easier to arrive at unnoticed than a small one. The meetings for Lawrence are above, and the physical side is a question for a doctor.
