What is the 516 Group?
The 516 Group is an open meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. We are glad you are visiting our website -- especially if you are a newcomer.
Sick and tired of being sick and tired?
In keeping with the 516 Group's singleness of purpose and our Third Tradition, we ask that all who participate in our meetings confine their discussion to their problems with alcohol.
Our meetings are non-smoking.
We have the Big Book (Alcoholics Anonymous) and The Twelve Steps and Twleve Traditions available to any alcoholic who wants one regardless of their financial situation -- please see the chair person after one of our meetings if you need a book.
Our open discussion meeting topics are designed to offer A.A's program of recovery, found in the Twelve Steps, to attendees having a difficult time not taking a drink today, or our discussions are based on topics related to Alcoholism.
Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions. We request that those attending our meetings respect this and treat in confidence who they see and what they hear.
