1. Choosing the Right Meetings
If you are attending to meet a court requirement and do not identify as an alcoholic, please look for meetings marked as 'Open (O)'. These are open to the public. 'Closed' meetings are reserved for individuals who have a desire to stop drinking.
3. Helpful Resources for Newcomers
We suggest downloading the Beginner's Packet or the 'A.A. at a Glance' flyer from our resources page. Reading these before or after your first meeting will help you understand our traditions and what to expect.
Court Documentation & Requirements
If you have been sent to A.A. by the courts system, we want to make your attendance smooth and helpful. You are welcome here, and we respect your privacy while you meet your requirements.
2. Getting Your Court Card Signed
Attendance signatures are easiest to get at in-person meetings. Please bring your own court-issued card or paperwork, as the group secretary does not provide them. Most secretaries are happy to sign your card immediately after the meeting concluded.
