Questions about AA in Girard

What is listed near Girard?

145 inside 25 miles, across 11 cities. Every row says which town it is in and how far.

Can I find a meeting in Girard on any day?

Every day. Monday is the busiest with 25 meetings, and no day is empty.

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

Most of what is listed is closed rather than open: 87 closed against 56 open. Closed means it is for people who want to stop drinking themselves.

What happens when the person drinking is not ready?

Nobody can make another adult go, and most people have already tried. Family members often find that going themselves changes what they do next even when it changes nothing for the drinker. Going once costs you only the evening.

Do I have to believe in God to go to AA?

No, though the question is fair: the steps do refer to God and to a higher power, and nobody pretends otherwise. A lot of long standing members will tell you they got past the wording by ignoring it for a year. If the language is the sticking point, try two different rooms before deciding, because they really are not alike.

Can I go to AA before I have stopped?

Yes. Plenty of members describe their first meeting exactly that way. The part to take seriously is that stopping alcohol abruptly after heavy daily drinking can be medically dangerous, which puts it with a doctor rather than with a meeting. Nobody will follow up with you afterward.
