Kent WA AA Meetings Overview

AA meetings in Kent, WA, attract people from all over the Seattle metropolitan area because of its central location and easy access to other parts of the city and state. In addition, Kent is a small city within the area and is bordered on the north and south by Seattle and Tacoma. For these reasons, however, residents of Kent often leave the area to attend more specialized gatherings if there are few, if any, sessions within Kent.

Kent is a small city, so it can be challenging to find a session in the town. Members can use the filter to find a group within the days listed here.

Among the cities included in the filter are Kent, Bellevue, Seattle, West Seattle, and Rainier Beach, among others. In addition, there are more specialized gatherings outside of the Kent area that have less stringent entry requirements or cater to specific groups like women, Spanish speakers, and members of the LGBTQ community.

How Do Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings in Kent, WA Look?

The gatherings within the larger Seattle area, including Kent, WA, have the same rules and regulations as any other chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous. There are many open and closed meetings, meaning that some groups are open to all, including newcomers, family members, and people who want to observe a session.

Closed meetings are only for long-time members of AA. This entry requirement is to give people the opportunity to speak with experienced members and not have to repeat the process of the 12-step program for new people. In addition, closed meetings are meant to support people who have already gotten sober but need additional support to avoid relapse.

There are hundreds of different groups from 6 am to midnight in and around the greater Seattle area. Several groups also cater to different people, including groups dedicated to the 12-step program or a close study of the Big Book or Daily Reflections. Members can change the filters to find a group that is right for them.

Get The Most From an AA Meetings in Kent, WA

Mutual support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous function on the premise that people in the same situation are better equipped to help each other than anyone else. Everyone who comes to an AA meeting in Washington or anywhere else understands that they are surrounded by peers who will not judge or reprimand them for their past behavior.

This understanding and support are powerful motivators to get and remain sober. Many studies have shown that any social support system is beneficial to a personโ€™s physical and mental health. The system provided by Intergroup organizations is especially crucial since it serves a specific purpose: to help people overcome an addiction to drugs or alcohol.

This kind of system, however, necessitates active participation from all members. The entire Intergroup organization is mainly leaderless and does not have a hierarchical structure. This means that members are encouraged to speak up and support each other to foster the kind of community that can help people reach sobriety.
