AA Meeting
Alcoholics Anonymous is a self-supporting self-help group that meets at Oakwood on Mondays at 6:30pm. It is a “closed meeting” which means that it’s for individuals with a desire to stop drinking (and not for the general public). It is a fellowship of people who come together to solve their drinking problem. There is no cost to attend meetings. There are no age or education requirements to participate. Membership is open to anyone who wants to do something about their drinking problem. AA’s primary purpose is to help alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
