Questions about AA in Elgin

How many AA meetings are there in Elgin?

31 meetings in town, out of 4,366 across Illinois.

Which days have AA meetings in Elgin?

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

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

Most of what is listed is closed rather than open: 17 closed against 3 open. Closed means it is for people who want to stop drinking themselves.

How many AA groups are there in Elgin?

26 groups listed in Elgin. A group is the set of people who run a meeting, and most run more than one a week.

Do I have to speak at an AA meeting?

No. You can sit at the back and say nothing at all. The room is used to new people who would rather watch first. An open meeting tends to be larger, which makes sitting quietly easier.

How do people find a sponsor in Elgin?

A sponsor is another member who has been at it longer, not a professional. The arrangement is informal and unpaid, it starts with one person asking another, and it carries none of the confidentiality protections a clinician's would. It is worth going to a few different rooms before you ask anyone.
