Meeting Notes
This is an Alcoholics Anonymous "Big Book" study meeting focused on the 12 Steps and recovery from alcoholism. The group reads from the book Alcoholics Anonymous and encourages discussion centered on the reading. The group will continue to meet for one hour and fifteen minutes and the last Monday of each month is an A.A. speaker meeting which celebrates various lengths of sobriety and provides milestone chips during our Birthday Speaker meeting on the last Monday of the month. A Covid-19 Safety Protocol is in place in an effort to take all necessary precautions to provide a safe and welcoming environment for all attendees. For the time being we ask members to bring their own personal copies of the Big Book or use their electronic device to access an online version.

Types of AA Meetings
Big Book: California AA meetings often feature the Big Book. This text features stories about how women and men overcame alcohol use disorder and is used to inspire clients to build resilience.
Birthday: In AA, birthdays refer to the last day (or the day after) that a member used alcohol or drugs. Birthday anniversaries are celebrated as milestones to encourage sobriety.
Open: Open AA meetings in California are informative in nature, designed for those seeking help for alcohol addiction and anyone interested in learning about the 12 step recovery model. Members are encouraged to share their stories and provide tips for recovery, helping observers learn more about how the program works and what their loved ones can expect.
Speaker: AA speakers often blend humor, faith, charm, and raw emotions before audiences. In California, speakers can effectively motivate listeners to harden their resolve against alcohol.
Wheelchair Access: In California, AA meetings with wheelchair accessibility include designated parking spots and safety ramps. Clients can safely maneuver around the facility to participate in AA events.
