What are your favourite meetings!?

Khaos WolfKat — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 07:10:26 +0000

Here's a thread to post links and/or information about your favourite meetings, either online or in person. It would be great if you shared a little about each one, what you like about it, if it is a “special interest” meeting (LGBTQ+/women's/men's/Atheist/Agnostic/etc, and what day's/times you attend, so folks know they can see at least one familiar face there. It's late right now, but I'll post some of my favs tomorrow or later this week!

Some people use AA as a dating service

I've had issues with some people who've used AA to find dates/sex

We don't seem to have direct rules against people meeting in AA, like you might at church or a club and deciding to go on a date.

What are people's feelings on this?

(I'm not talking about predatory behavior of course!)

Why are alcoholics not joiners?

I've heard a lot of stories about alcoholics saying they didn't feel like they fit in. Also, and possibly related, they weren't big "joiners" of clubs, organizations, etc.

Is this universal or what is going on here? Is the addiction itself making us isolate so we have to treat this part as well, stay connected?
