What these mean

Open
Anyone may attend, including family, friends and people who are simply curious. Nobody has to say why they came.
Closed
For people who have a desire to stop drinking. If you are not sure that is you, an open meeting is the safe first choice.
Online
Held online rather than in a room. The row shows the Zoom details where the group publishes them.
Women
Only women attend.
Gay
Run by and for gay members.
Lesbian
Run by and for lesbian members.
Secular
Run without religious content. The steps are used without prayer.
Discussion
A topic is raised and whoever wants to speak does. You can sit through the whole hour without saying anything.
Speaker
One member tells their own story for most of the hour. Nothing is asked of anyone else, which makes it the easiest kind to sit through on a first visit.
Big Book
Reading and discussion from Alcoholics Anonymous, the book members call the Big Book.
Step Study
The group works through the Twelve Steps in order.
12 Steps & 12 Traditions
Study of the book Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions.
Meditation
Part of the hour is quiet.

1 group in Athens

A group is the set of people who run a meeting. Most run more than one a week.

  • Indian Point1 meeting a week

AA meetings near Athens

Each of these runs the same rule as this page, so the count is what that page will really show you.

Questions about AA in Athens

How many AA meetings are near Athens?

131 inside 15 miles, across 5 cities. Every row says which town it is in and how far.

Is there an AA meeting every day in Athens?

Every day. Monday is the busiest with 21 meetings, and no day is empty.

What is the difference between an open and a closed meeting in Athens?

51 of the 131 listed here are marked open, which means anyone can attend, including family. 78 are marked closed, for people who want to stop drinking.

What is the difference between a group and a meeting?

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.

Do I have to give my name at an AA meeting?

No. First names are the custom and even that is not asked of a visitor. The expectation runs both ways: what you hear is not yours to repeat either. The listings above carry times and places and nothing about who attends.

Is it a problem to be on antidepressants in AA?

Yes. Attending has nothing to do with what your doctor has prescribed. Medication for alcohol dependence is prescribed by clinicians and is a separate thing from what happens in a meeting. The schedule above gives the day and venue for each one.

Do I have to call myself an alcoholic to go?

You do not have to describe yourself as anything to sit in a room. There is no membership process, no assessment and nobody deciding whether you qualify. Nobody will ask how much you drink.
