Questions about AA in Downers Grove

How many AA meetings are there in Downers Grove?

26 a week, run by 21 groups inside Downers Grove.

Is there an AA meeting every day in Downers Grove?

Sunday has nothing listed, and the other 6 days do.

Can I go to a meeting in Downers Grove if I am not sure I am an alcoholic?

Most of what is listed is closed rather than open: 20 closed against 6 open. Closed means it is for people who want to stop drinking themselves.

Will anyone find out that I went to a meeting in Downers Grove?

No. First names are the custom and even that is not asked of a visitor. People go by first names and what is said in the room is expected to stay there, though that rests on custom rather than on law. A lot of people find the second visit easier than the first for exactly this reason.

What is a step meeting?

A set of suggestions rather than instructions, in the fellowship's own phrasing. Some rooms talk about them constantly and others barely mention them. There are twelve, they are worked in order, and there is no schedule anyone is held to.
