AA meetings in Upper Deerfield, NJ

One listed meeting, run by Sobriety First. A single meeting is normal for a town this size, and it still counts as a week if you go every time.

1 is marked closed and none is marked open. A closed meeting is still the right room if you think you may have a problem with drinking; it is family and the merely curious who are asked to use an open one.

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.

Mostly big book. The table labels every row, so you can pick a format before you go rather than after.

You do not have to give a name at all, and nobody will press you. Groups do not report attendance to anybody, and no organization collects it. The listings above carry times and places and nothing about who attends.

The book has been in print since 1939 and is read aloud in a good many meetings. The language is of its time and a lot of readers find the first chapters harder going than the stories. Copies get lent and handed on constantly, so one usually turns up without being asked for.

Nobody will make you speak, and nobody will think anything of it. Nobody is assessing whether you joined in. It holds across New Jersey as much as in Upper Deerfield.
