Questions about AA in Rhode Island
How many A.A. meetings are there in Rhode Island?
Across Rhode Island, 212 meetings are listed, and they sit in 33 cities.
Which city in Rhode Island has the most meetings?
Providence holds the most, 38 meetings. Then Warwick with 21 and North Kingstown with 18.
Does this only cover the big cities in Rhode Island?
18 cities in Rhode Island hold four or fewer a week. Every one has its own page, with whatever is within a short drive listed underneath.
What should I expect the first time I go?
Most meetings run an hour, start on time, and look like any other room full of people having a conversation. There is no form to fill in and no joining. Turning up is the whole of it. Trying two or three different meetings is normal. Rooms vary a lot, and the first one you walk into is not the only kind.
What do open and closed mean on these listings?
An open meeting is open to anybody, including family, friends and people who are simply curious. A closed meeting is for people who have a desire to stop, which is something you decide about yourself rather than something anybody checks at the door. When in doubt, an open meeting is the easier first room.
Could a meeting have moved since this was published?
They are the times the groups publish themselves, and groups do change night, time or venue without much notice. A meeting that has never registered anywhere is not on these pages at all, which is a different kind of gap and a commoner one. Turning up to a dark hall is the one genuinely discouraging thing that can happen, and a phone call prevents it.
