Questions about AA in Park Ridge

How many AA meetings are near Park Ridge?

Park Ridge has 10 meetings in the list above, so it reaches out to 5 miles and picks up 47 in nearby towns.

Which days have AA meetings in Park Ridge?

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

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

Most of what is listed is closed rather than open: 51 closed against 4 open. Closed means it is for people who want to stop drinking themselves.

What do people read at a Big Book meeting?

The book has been in print since 1939 and is read aloud in a good many meetings. Nobody checks whether you have read any of it. That is the same across Illinois.

What should I expect walking into a meeting in Park Ridge?

Most of it is people sitting on chairs listening to one another. People speak one at a time without being interrupted or advised, which is the part that surprises most first timers. You can leave whenever you like, including halfway through.

What is the best meeting to start with?

The practical filter is day and time before anything else. If a particular room does not suit you, it says nothing about the next one. Day and time matter more than format for a meeting you intend to keep going to.
