Questions about AA in Joliet
How many AA meetings are there in Joliet?
20 a week, run by 15 groups inside Joliet.
Which day is busiest for AA in Joliet?
There is at least one listed every day of the week, including Thursday, which is the thinnest day here with 1 meeting.
What is the difference between an open and a closed meeting in Joliet?
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 Joliet?
15 groups listed in Joliet, and each one is linked above with the meetings it holds.
Is there an LGBTQ AA meeting in Joliet?
Yes. 1 meeting is listed as an LGBTQ meeting within reach of Joliet.
Do I have to give my name at an AA meeting?
Giving your name is something you choose to do, not something required. It is a tradition rather than a law, so it rests on the people present rather than on a policy. That is the same across Illinois and not a local custom.
What is a step meeting?
A set of suggestions rather than instructions, in the fellowship's own phrasing. The middle ones are the reason people stall, and stalling is treated as ordinary. You can go to meetings for as long as you like without touching them.
