Your First AA Meeting in Delray Beach

There are two different general types of AA meetings. An open meeting welcomes anyone. This can include people curious about the program or family members trying to understand what a relative is doing.

A closed meeting is for people who want to stop drinking. Our directory currently lists 39 open groups and 18 closed groups in Delray Beach. Check the listing label before you go.

You aren’t asked to speak and you do not have to call yourself an alcoholic at an open AA meeting. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.

Meetings are free to attend and groups are self-supporting through voluntary contributions. You are not asked for dues or fees. Newcomer meetings are the easiest way to begin your recovery in AA. A speaker meeting is a good second choice if you would rather listen than talk.

Understanding what you can expect at your first AA meeting helps to answer most of the practical questions you may have. The 12 Steps and 12 Traditions explain the framework members refer to.

You Might Need More Than a Meeting

AA meetings provide peer support rather than medical care. However, medical care is typically helpful during withdrawal from alcohol. Stopping suddenly after drinking daily or heavily can lead to dangerous complications.

An assessment by a professional clinician can help determine if medically supervised detox is appropriate in your situation. Our alcohol withdrawal timeline describes what you can expect during the first several days you stop drinking.
