Question 1

can i still attend an aa meeting if i'm under 21?

Accepted Answer

Yes!: There is no minimal age, although some very young adults or teens may find it uncomfortable with so many adults in the room.  That being said, i would commend you on any decision to attend a meeting and encourage you to go first, i suspect many of the attendees would welcome you and even help steer you toward other meetings with younger members.

Question 2

do i need to attend all types of meetings to be a part of aa?

Accepted Answer

No: By attending one meeting you are a member, if you have a desire to stop drinking you are a member. With that said keep an open mind and try different meetings bur you don't have to like them all.

Question 3

i attended a business meeting 12 days ago with 10 other colleagues, and one of them was covid positive. however, nobody in the room for 8 hours with him has tested positive since? how can this be?

Accepted Answer

: Everyone's immune system is different.  Infection depends upon the amt, exposure time infectivity co-morbidity, age etc. So getting cocid  depends on all that

Question 4

hi.my manager attended a meeting in an auditorium.we found out 5 days later that there was a team member at the meeting who tested positive for covid. he had no direct contact with the person.i was in contact with him.what does this mean for me?

Accepted Answer

State of pandemic: There are numerous guidelines and protocols to focus upon who needs testing and when.  However, you are best advised if asymptomatic, to quarantine if you did have contact with infected person.  The US CDC now is recommending 10 days.  If you fulfill your local protocols, would get the PCR, not the "rapid" due to better accuracy.  Hopefully, these comments are overly cautious.

Question 5

i have been an opiate addict for more than 15 years. i takenaltrexone, suboxone and attend aa. i fail at everythingi do. am i done?

Accepted Answer

Do not loose hope: You should never loose hope. Go to your family and friends. If they have abandoned you, god won't never do that. Test my theory even if you are not a believer. Talk to god tonight at your bed in silence, nobody around. Person to person, like your friend, like your father. No protocols. You and him. Be silence, humble yourself and after talking, listen in silence. Be honest.Cry out and he'll listen.

Question 6

i attended a meeting and 2 people have tested positive. others are testing positive and showing symptoms. i have tested negative. do you think i have i tested to early ?

Accepted Answer

: You probably mean Covid.  Not all people exposed to the virus test positive. If you get symptoms, you could get retested.
Get Covid vaccine.

Question 7

i get headache when i attend any meeting or if i am in a group of people are talking about the matters which i have interest in. ?

Accepted Answer

Triggers: Headache can be caused by triggers and triggers can be anything. It seems like that being in a group might be your trigger.  Stress, social anxiety are common triggers; pay attention to your stress level, stay well hydrated, and avoid headache toxins (caffeine, nsaids, acetaminophen, opiates).

Question 8

i attended a business meeting this week and was in a room for 8 hours with someone who i have found out has tested positive for covid. ive had all my vaccines and booster, but am i likely to still get it?

Accepted Answer

: You could get infected but are very unlikely to get sick from it. There is virtually no risk of hospitalization or death.
Wish you good health!

Question 9

should i attend a dept meeting called by boss and aimed at me that would worsen my stomach pain and breath problem caused by unfair treatment by boss?

Accepted Answer

Tough call: It is a very delicate situation . If the meeting is directed at you and you are pretty sure that you can not handle it well, i suggest to see a therapist first and probably psychiatrist to get mental health evaluation and treatment

Question 10

is it ok that i didn't attend preschool but was instead watched by a babysitter?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Preschool is common in some cultures and not others. The groups that benefit the most tend to come from settings where reading, and other stimulating activities were less common. Within a year or two, little difference is seen in the performance of both groups.
