How to find and confirm a meeting
- Choose the directory for your needs. The official AA directory links group lists by department. For an English-speaking meeting, open the fellowship directory’s page for your destination rather than assuming every AA group meets in English.
- Confirm before setting out. Ask whether the meeting is running on your intended date, its current venue and time, its language, and whether it is AA, NA or another meeting format. Ask how to find the room and whether an online option is available if you need one.
- Check any location or format notices. The Jaibalito page specifically asks visitors to message before attending to ensure the meeting is running on their intended date. It also describes an All Addicts Anonymous variation, so check which format applies when you plan to attend.
- Use office contacts for help navigating the options. Ask the AA office for help locating a group, Al-Anon for its group directory, or NA Guatemala about its meetings. Confirm language availability rather than assuming an office can respond in English.
Quick summary: Use the official AA directory for departmental groups and the English fellowship directory for the listed English-speaking locations. Confirm meeting details before traveling. The AA office contacts below are published office numbers; they have not been phone-tested for this guide.
