Questions about AA in Castro
How many AA meetings a week does Castro have?
44 meetings listed in Castro itself, and the week above is all of them rather than a selection.
Can I find a meeting in Castro on any day?
Every day. Saturday is the busiest with 10 meetings, and no day is empty.
What is the difference between an open and a closed meeting in Castro?
The ones listed here are marked closed, which means they are for people who want to stop drinking rather than for visitors. You do not have to be sure, and nobody checks.
What is the difference between a group and a meeting?
36 groups listed in Castro, and each one is linked above with the meetings it holds.
Should my first meeting be online?
Yes. A lot of people began online and moved to a room later. The format of an online meeting follows the same pattern as a room: an opening, readings, people speaking in turn. The listings for Castro are rooms you can walk into.
What happens if I drink again after going to meetings?
The practical answer is that you walk back in. Nobody will ask for an account of what happened unless you want to give one. Going back once is a complete thing to do.
Do I have to call myself an alcoholic to go?
No. There is no qualification to meet and no label to accept first. There is nothing to prove on the way in. You can go once and never come back, and nobody will mind.
