Thank you for visiting the AA District 61 web page. If you need more assistance or would like to submit recovery information to be published, please submit alcohol related info through the link at the very top of the page.

Each session will include a brief overview of the Alcoholics Anonymous program, a brief history of A.A., a personal account from one of our members, and a question-and-answer session. These informative sessions last anywhere from 45 minutes to 75 minutes and can be loosely tailored to your needs.

Members of AA will come to your venue or establishment armed with proper AA refreshments (bad coffee and bad-for-you cookies), AA literature for those who wish to take it, and AA’s message of hope. Our information and literature will be adapted based on the need of your organization.

Please contact cpc@aadistrict61.org to set up your free information session! (AA is a not-for-profit organization, we don’t collect dues or fees from members. We want to do these sessions because carrying the message of AA is part of our “program” and it helps us stay sober.)

Please contact cpc@aadistrict61.org to schedule a free presentation for your legal practice, your court department, or just for you! Two A.A. members will explain briefly about how they found A.A., their experience in A.A., and how their lives have changed since attending meetings and working the twelve steps. These members will provide a male and a female contact for the attendees of the presentation. Attendees will be informed as to how they can and cannot use the contact. These contacts can meet with anyone who has a desire to stop drinking, take the potential alcoholic to meetings, or simply share their story with the potential alcoholic in the hopes of relating. These contacts are anonymous and therefore cannot provide “letters of recommendation” or reports of offenders to the court system. All that can be expected is that the alcoholic will learn to live a happy, sober life and hopefully this will serve as its own recommendation.

Occasionally, judges ask that an offender acquire written proof of attendance at meetings. These slips will usually be signed by a meeting chairperson or secretary (usually the first name only), but because of A.A.’s principle of anonymity, this cannot be required of any meeting. Court professionals should understand that these signatures do not signify any affiliation to A.A., cannot guarantee that the offender attended the entire meeting, or warranty that the offender is remaining sober.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a 12-step program that aids recovery from alcoholism. A.A. cannot help the offender with any other problem or addiction, although in some cases there are other 12-step programs available for problems other than alcohol. Anyone, however, can attend an Open A.A. meeting. Closed meetings are solely for those who have a desire to stop drinking. Meeting schedules for both open and closed meetings are available upon request by emailing cpc@aadistrict61.org.

To make arrangements for old magazine drop-off locations or to assist in altering the periodicals already received, please email AA District 61′s Grapevine Chairperson.

We appreciate your donations and service.

As alcoholics ourselves, we understand that most teenagers with drinking problems are probably not yet ready to hear a message of recovery. What we are hoping to do is plant a seed that might be harvested any number of years down the road. For this reason, we would love to work with your school either by sending literature or A.A. speakers to work with a any students who might have an interest. A.A. can also send speakers to talk to health classes about what A.A. is and how it works. A.A. does not charge for any of these services.

If you would like to take advantage of any of these resources or just speak with someone about how Alcoholics Anonymous can work with your school, please contact our CPC Chairperson. We welcome the chance to carry our message of recovery to anyone in need; it is what keeps us sober.”
