What can you expect at AA meetings in Everett?

A handful of online groups also provide support to the community. Most of these groups hold open meetings. This means you can visit any open meeting without being a member.

What Happens During Your First AA Meeting in Everett

AA meetings are available in open and closed formats. Anyone can attend an open meeting. This includes people who want to learn more about the program and family members who want to understand the program their family member is using.

A closed meeting is for people who want to stop drinking and are committed to the AA program. Everett has 32 open groups and only 6 closed.

No one will call on you and you do not have to identify yourself as an alcoholic during AA meetings. AA describes the only membership requirement as a desire to stop drinking.

AA meetings are free. You will not be asked for dues or fees. The groups are self-supporting through voluntary contributions. An open discussion meeting is the easiest place to begin your recovery journey with AA. Beginner open meetings make sharing optional and nothing is assigned in advance.

If You Need More Help Than a Meeting

AA provides you with peer support and not medical care. You may need supervised medical detox if you have been drinking heavily or drinking every day and want to stop. Going through withdrawal without medical supervision can be dangerous since alcohol withdrawal can trigger potentially life threatening complications.

The alcohol withdrawal timeline sets out what the first days usually involve and when supervised detox is advised. Snohomish County has a crisis services line answered 24 hours a day, every day. The county states it is the right number for anyone experiencing a mental health, substance use or suicidal crisis anywhere in the county. The number is under Resources.

Our alcohol rehab directory lists options by state and city, making it easier to compare programs. SAMHSA’s FindTreatment.gov is a national locator that filters by payment method. The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is answered 24/7 and can help when you are experiencing a mental health crisis.
