Meeting Makers Make It ... but they need to know where the meetings are!
This online listing of A. A. meetings in the San Diego County area is put together from many sources, including local and central office meeting directories, the listings of local clubs, and direct information from the groups and members involved. [Note]
It is offered as a free service to those who need it, and is unaffiliated with any official body in the area.
As with all we do in A. A., we rely on each other for meeting information. At present, not only are untold meetings not listed at all, but the information available on many is doubtful, sometimes listed by one source but not another, sometimes with contradictory listings. Where this is especially important to clear up, we have added a little pop-up [Note], alerting the viewer and asking for help.
Please let us know (s.i.meetings@gmail.com) of any corrections, additions, subtractions and other suggestions you may have – so that, together, we can let those who need us know where to find us.
— Unless otherwise specified, all meetings are open to anyone with an interest in recovery from alcoholism.
— Likewise, unless specified as a ‘Speaker’ meeting, you may expect ‘Participation’ of some sort.
— “Closed” meetings are only for those who themselves have a “desire to stop drinking”.
— You may generally assume that there is no smoking in the meetings.
— The © symbol next to an address indicates that it is wheelchair-accessible.
— To make these listings more accessible, we have in some cases combined meetings in neighboring areas into a single page, while still identifying the particular towns and cities.
— To make finding the meetings easier, and out of respect for our hosts, we have tried to fully identify the locations in which we meet.
— In some cases we did have to shorten names, for which we apologize. For instance, all Methodists are in fact United.
— We have added links to Maps for each meeting; the links also contain (as a pop-up) the Thomas Guide coordinates.
— Meetings with “men” or “women” in the group name are for men and women only, respectively.
— The meeting format, unless made clear in the group name, is shown below the address.
— If only the format is known, the space for a group name is left blank.
— If there really is no A. A. group, however, it is not really an A. A. meeting at all. Please advise!
— Genuine A. A. meetings, and the groups that hold them, are not – should never be – affiliated in any way with any locations in which they are held, whether they be hospitals, schools, clubs, treatment or community centers, etc.
