About Us
Who are we?
The Ross Avenue Group of Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who come together to solve their drinking problem. We are people who have discovered and admitted that we cannot control alcohol. We have learned that we must live without it to live normal, happy lives. It doesn’t cost anything to attend A.A. meetings. There are no age or education requirements to participate. Membership is open to anyone who has a sincere desire to stop drinking.
What to Expect at an A.A. Meeting
There are a variety of formats for A.A. meetings, but all meetings have one thing in common: to help others recover from alcoholism. At most meetings you will hear members talk about what drinking did to them and to those around them. Most also share what actions they took to stop drinking and how they are living their lives today. When we first begin to attend A.A. meetings, we may feel confused and apprehensive. Although people at meetings respond to our questions willingly, that alone isn’t enough.
Many other questions occur to us between meetings; we find that we need constant, close support as we begin learning how to “live sober.” This is where sponsorship comes in, we select an A.A. member with whom we can feel comfortable, someone with whom we can talk freely and confidentially.
