Default Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings-English

Hello All, we have been here in DR all week. Staying in Playa Dorada. My wife and I have been sober and in Alcoholics Anonymous for nearly 10 years. We can't seem to find meetings. Are there any meetings in the area i(Peurto Plata, Playa Dorada, Sosua, Cabarete) in English?

Hi all

My first post - greetings from an unseasonally dull and wet United Kingdom!

We are coming to DR from the UK for the first time, staying at Gran Ventana Beach, Playa Dorada from 13 August for 2 weeks.

Really looking forward to it and wondered if there was any news on the times and places of the English-speaking AA meetings on the North Coast. Maybe John could just give a little refresh for me and any other Brits coming over at this popular time.

Thanks in advance

Bracknell Alan

"Anonymous" means first name terms only. Otherwise it would get very confusing!

You never watched a movie when they had a AA meeting scene? The guy would stand-up and say Hi, my name is John and I am an alcoholic, then the group would say "Hi John".

Perhaps DAKRA needs to find a meeting for PA, "Poster's Anonymous"?

If you want to play games on a thread go somewhere else. Being in recovery is a life and death sisuation. John started AA on the northcoast 20 years ago and has helped hundreds of people live a better life without alcohol and drugs.
