AA Meetings
We Atheist/Agnostics of Downriver
Mondays at 8 p.m. = 81 Chestnut St., Wyandotte = Closed
Secular A.A. is an international movement within Alcoholics Anonymous that seeks to widen our gateway so that all who suffer from alcoholism may feel free to join us and maintain long-term sobriety in A.A. “regardless of their belief or lack of belief”* in a God.
The only difference between secular meetings of A.A. and other A.A. meetings is the way the meetings are scripted. No one is asked to recite any prayers or readings that invoke the name of any deity as part of the regular format of most secular meetings of A.A.. Instead, other A.A. General Service Conference-approved literature may be read aloud, for example, the beginning of Chapter 3 of the “Big Book” of Alcoholics Anonymous, “More About Alcoholism;” or Appendix II, “Spiritual Experience.”
DiversityAA - LGBTQ+ and their allies
Saturdays at 12 p.m. = 81 Chestnut St., Wyandotte = Closed
Selected AA chapters focus on providing a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community, and generally welcome LGBTQ+ allies. These groups prioritize members’ recovery and sobriety within a non-heteronormative context.
