Welcome!

The Rainbow Group has a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous for everybody. The only catch is to have a desire to quit drinking.

Though this A.A. group provides an open welcome to gay, lesbian, bi and trans, as well as straight, the only thing that can be assumed about anyone at this meeting is that they have a desire to stop drinking – not their orientation nor even their gender identity.

If you don't want to stop drinking, perhaps you only want to cut down on the amount you drink, then you are a welcome guest at open A.A. meetings. There are quite a few open meetings around Joliet and in Chicagoland. To find an open meeting you can go the District 51 meeting list. www.aadistrict51.org

If you want to try to stop drinking then you are welcome at the Rainbow Group.
