Questions about AA in Wilmington

How many AA meetings are there in Wilmington?

Is there an AA meeting every day in Wilmington?

There is at least one listed every day of the week, including Sunday, which is the thinnest day here with 5 meetings.

Are the AA meetings in Wilmington open to anyone?

77 of the 90 listed here are marked open, which means anyone can attend, including family. 10 are marked closed, for people who want to stop drinking.

How many AA groups are there in Wilmington?

Are all of these meetings in Wilmington?

No. Every meeting above is inside Wilmington, so there is no driving between towns to plan for.

What happens if I drink again after going to meetings?

The practical answer is that you walk back in. Members often describe the gap before going back as the hard part, and the going back itself as easier than expected. A larger meeting is easier to return to unnoticed.

Is AA religious?

Not a church, not a denomination and not a mission. The steps use the phrase a power greater than ourselves, and members interpret that as anything from a god to the group in the room. A larger meeting usually has a wider mix of views in it.
