Alcoholics Anonymous · Lake City, Florida

Welcome Home Group

If you think you have a problem with alcohol or a desire to stop drinking, you have a seat here. No dues, no sign-up, no appointment — just walk in and take a chair.

We meet three evenings a week at Spirit of Christ Lutheran Church. Newcomers are welcomed at every meeting and you'll be among people who understand, for this group exists because someone once reached out a hand to us, and now ours is reached out to you.

First Time Here?

What to expect at your first meeting

You don't need to bring anything, pay anything, or say anything. Most people just listen the first time. Someone will greet you at the door, there's coffee, and the meeting follows a simple format — readings from A.A. literature and members sharing their experience, strength, and hope.

The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking. What's said in the room stays in the room. If you'd like to read more before you come, aa.org has a plain-language introduction to the program.
