Primetime AA Brooklyn meetings are for those who have a drinking problem and have a desire to stop drinking. The purpose of the Primetime AA meetings is to talk about the reason to come to Alcoholics Anonymous; to expose alcoholism not just as a word, but as a living mind-powered disease; how the disease appears and functions in our lives today in order to deepen our awareness of what we are up against.
Alcoholism is called “ism” because it is alive and functioning and needs to be treated. We discuss here strictly the disease as it manifests in each of our own personal lives. The way our behavior is this day. The way we react or look at people, places and things. We do not talk about drunkalogues, yesterday’s problems or blaming other people. We talk only about looking inwardly, describing how self behaves in the day that we are in.
6:15 – 6:30 arrival and set up
6:30 – 7:45 meeting
Most meetings take place in the Undercroft. Enter 50 Monroe Place, then walk down the stairs to the right. Meeting location within First Unitarian Brooklyn may change; look for signs redirecting you to another room, when applicable.
Service animals are welcome. They should generally be harnessed, leashed, or tethered – unless the equipment interferes with the animal’s work or the handler’s disability prevents its use. In those circumstances, the handler must maintain control through voice commands, signals, or other effective means. For the preservation of First U’s historic property and the safety of all, pets and emotional support animals that do not qualify as service animals are not permitted inside the building.
