Your First AA Meeting in San Antonio

Open meetings welcome anyone curious about AA, including if you are not sure you have a problem. Closed meetings are for people who identify as having a drinking problem. Both types are common in San Antonio’s listings above.

A typical meeting runs about an hour. The meeting starts when someone opens with a reading, a member or a topic leads the discussion, and people share if they want to, though nobody is required to speak or introduce themselves as anything.

There is no cost, no sign-up, and no paperwork. You can simply arrive a few minutes early and take a seat. If this is your first time, an open discussion meeting is usually the easiest type of meeting to begin with.

If You Need More Help Than a Meeting

AA is peer support, not medical treatment. If you drink heavily every day, stopping suddenly can be dangerous, and a medical assessment is worth getting before you try. Sober.com’s alcohol withdrawal timeline guide walks through what a safe process typically looks like.

For substance use screening and referral in Bexar County, the Center for Health Care Services runs an Outreach, Screening, Assessment, and Referral (OSAR) line that serves the county; hours and the number are listed in Resources.

If you are looking into treatment options beyond meetings, alcohol rehab options are a place to start, and FindTreatment.gov and the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline are both listed in Resources as well.
