Your First AA Meeting in Eugene

An open meeting welcomes anyone and closed meetings are for people who want to stop drinking. It is easy to begin your recovery in AA in Eugene. There are 70 open groups and only 12 closed meetings.

In an open or beginner meeting, the group does not ask you to speak or to call yourself an alcoholic. In fact, the only requirement to go to a meeting is your desire to stop drinking.

Meetings are free to attend. Voluntary contributions support each AA group. The most straightforward choice for your first meeting is a discussion or speaker format. Sharing is voluntary and nothing is assigned in advance.

Learning what to expect at your first AA meeting helps answer some of your more common questions. Because Eugene has so many study groups, the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions provide a useful background before trying a meeting.

Staying on Track Between Meetings

Our free Sober App works well with your AA meetings and addiction treatment. It tracks your sober days, what you have saved by not drinking and your milestones. This provides you with accountability and support on days between meetings.

If You Need More Help Than a Meeting

AA meetings provide peer support rather than medical treatment. Stopping abruptly after drinking nearly every day has real medical risk.  The alcohol withdrawal timeline provides you with information about what you can expect in the early days and when supervised detox is recommended.

Lane County’s behavioral health division has an open crisis line for adults in the county and Oregon operates a statewide substance use helpline available 24/7. Both numbers are listed under the Resources section below.

Our alcohol rehab directory lists treatment program options by state and city and SAMHSA’s FindTreatment.gov is a national alternative. The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline answers the phone at any hour for a mental health crisis or thoughts of self-harm.
