Questions about AA in Kingston
How many AA meetings are near Kingston?
67 inside 5 miles, across 4 cities. Every row says which town it is in and how far.
Which day is busiest for AA in Kingston?
There is at least one listed every day of the week, including Sunday, which is the thinnest day here with 7 meetings.
What is the difference between an open and a closed meeting in Kingston?
61 of the 67 listed here are marked open, which means anyone can attend, including family. 6 are marked closed, for people who want to stop drinking.
How do meetings mark time without a drink?
A custom rather than a rule: small tokens marking stretches without a drink. Different areas use different intervals and different objects, and none of it is standardized by anybody. The table above flags any meeting here that a group has called a birthday meeting.
Can I go to AA if I am on medication?
Yes. Nothing about attending depends on what you are prescribed. Nobody in the room is permitted to see or ask about your medical history. Never stop a prescribed medication on the strength of something said at a meeting.
Do I have to speak at an AA meeting?
No. Plenty of people listen for months before they say a word. If the chair goes round the room you can pass, and people do that every day of the week without anyone remarking on it. An open meeting tends to be larger, which makes sitting quietly easier.
