Western NY Freethinkers
Meeting ID 469572788 A meeting where alcoholics may feel free to express any doubts or disbeliefs they may have, and to share their own personal forms of spiritual experience, their search for it, or their rejection of it. In keeping with A.A. tradition, 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.

Early Sobriety
How can we properly "Carry the Message" unless we know what the AA message is? The focus of this group each and every week will be to study and understand Pamphlets & other Conference-Approved Literature. This is an "Open Meeting" for those just entering recovery, fresh out of treatment or those returning to the rooms of AA. This meeting will also benefit those doing CPC/PI service work or those new to Sponsorship. Family members wanting to learn about recovery are welcome. Meeting ID: 823 5985 8994 Password: New2AA
