Freethinkers
● Face masks required for unvaccinated attendees Meeting Format: A round-robin reading of A.A. literature with and without comment by the reader, followed in the second half, by a general discussion of A.A. related topics. This group of A.A. attempts to maintain a tradition of free expression, and conducts a meeting where alcoholics may feel free to express any doubts or disbelief's they may have, and to share their own personal form of spiritual experience, their search for it, or their rejection of it. We do not endorse or oppose any form of religion or atheism. Our only wish is to assure suffering alcoholics that they can find sobriety in A.A. without having to accept anyone else's beliefs or having to deny their own.
