Questions about AA in South Elgin

How many AA meetings are near South Elgin?

48 inside 5 miles, across 3 cities. Every row says which town it is in and how far.

Can I find a meeting in South Elgin on any day?

Not every day. Meetings are listed on 6 days, and Sunday has nothing.

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

3 of the 48 listed here are marked open, which means anyone can attend, including family. 33 are marked closed, for people who want to stop drinking.

What should I expect walking into a meeting in South Elgin?

Most of it is people sitting on chairs listening to one another. You arrive, sit down and listen, and the chair may ask whether anyone is new, which you can answer or let pass. You can leave whenever you like, including halfway through.

Is it all right to turn up having had a drink?

Yes, and people do, and it is more common than you would guess. What a group can offer is a chair and an hour, which is not nothing and is not medical care. Nobody will follow up with you afterward.
