Some have very unique qualities \u2013 younger individuals, older individuals or varied age population.<\/p>\n<p>AA is very well organized and so there cannot be too many Local groups in a given area.\u00a0 There is also a differentiation within Local groups as far as logistics. Some meet for only an hour or so once a week, others are held every day, while some are much longer and may last an entire Sunday with members coming and going throughout.\u00a0 Some meetings are Open and some Closed.\u00a0 Open meetings are for anyone who wishes to join and observe, whether that be students or family members.\u00a0 Closed meetings are for those who identify as members of AA and are understandably designed to be more candid.<\/p>\n<p>But despite all the varied aspects of AA, one common component is AA\u2019s anonymity. Members are always allowed to conceal their identity, if they wish.<\/p>\n<p>To find the nearest AA meeting near you, visit their website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aa.org\/\">https:\/\/www.aa.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(by LDonoyan, Water Gap Wellness) Alcoholics Anonymous meetings are held throughout the United States on any given day of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5877,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-substance-use"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kynetdesign.in\/watergap\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kynetdesign.in\/watergap\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kynetdesign.in\/watergap\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kynetdesign.in\/watergap\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kynetdesign.in\/watergap\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5691"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kynetdesign.in\/watergap\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5691\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kynetdesign.in\/watergap\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kynetdesign.in\/watergap\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kynetdesign.in\/watergap\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
