Email About the Meeting

Find Understanding, Not Judgment

Alcoholics Anonymous began with people helping one another through shared experience. That same idea is at the heart of this young people’s meeting: a supportive space to talk honestly about alcohol, or simply listen, without pressure to explain yourself. Whether you’re thinking about stopping drinking or just curious about your relationship with alcohol, you can meet others who understand. For meeting details, email youngpersons.tvalley@aamail.org.

No Rock Bottom Required

You Can Come Along Even If You’re Unsure

You don’t have to hit rock bottom, be certain you have a problem, or drink before coming to an AA meeting. If alcohol has raised questions for you, you’re welcome to find out more and hear from people who have been there.
