For those in addiction recovery looking for AA meetings in Allison, our online database of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings may help. Some people have been court-ordered to attend AA meetings in Iowa. Mandated reporting of AA attendance is often required after a person gets DUI (driving while under the influence) or a domestic violence charge. The court may order AA meetings instead of jail time. There are several ways to handle providing proof of AA attendance. Each AA group does it differently; there isn’t a predetermined procedure among the groups. Each group decides how it will provide evidence of AA attendance to its group members when needed. It’s not always a clear-cut situation, primarily because of the groups’ commitment to anonymity (privacy) for every AA participant. When an AA member gives consent, some groups assign a designated member (such as the secretary or other group officer) to acknowledge attendance by signing a slip that the courts provide. In some circumstances, AA attendees provide self-reporting. Self-reporting takes the burden of a possible break in anonymity away from the AA group and its members.
