What happens at a first meeting?
Most meetings last about an hour. Someone opens with a reading, and members take turns sharing their experience. You can just listen. You don’t have to give your last name, and nobody will make you speak. Look for meetings marked “open” or “beginners” if you’re new.
What is the difference between AA and NA?
AA focuses on alcohol. NA welcomes people with any drug problem, including alcohol. Both use the Twelve Steps and are free. Many people go to whichever meeting is closest or feels like the best fit.
What if I need more than meetings?
Meetings help many people stay sober, but they don’t replace medical care. If you drink heavily every day, use opioids or have tried to stop and couldn’t, talk to a doctor or a treatment program. Stopping alcohol or benzodiazepines suddenly can be dangerous, so ask about medical detox. Browse our rehab directory or call (833) 589-6933 to talk with our admissions helpline. Our helpline is not affiliated with AA or NA. For families, see our guide to Al-Anon and family support groups.
