Are AA meetings mostly men? I’m 26 but look 22-25… worried about that.

Morning Toni.. not sure where your located but there this an app called “meeting guide” has like a little chair on the icon… you can go in there and put your zip and find “womens only” groups… also you can check on the website “in the rooms” and attend online as well… hopes this helps

No Toni there are meetings for all women. You’ll be able to find a sponsor there as well to help you on your journey.

I don’t think gender is important at all. Alcoholism is alcoholism. It doesn’t care who you are!
I just started AA in January. I was surprised at the amount of women in the meetings. I was expecting these meeting to be male dominated.
They have women's groups if you don't want to deal with men. I'd suggest trying a women's meeting first and if any of them go to other meetings you could go to a coed meeting too and see what helps you get to your recovery goals.
There are many meetings world wide .some mens meetings BB it they are called stagg.there are women's meeting too . But there are A LOT of open meetings for men and women . Download meeting guide
Keep trying meetings until you find one you’re comfortable with. Each meeting is unique.
No.. they’re both.. I go at lest 3 times a week.. and I’m a woman.. it’s usually half and half..
There’s usually a lot of guys your age.. a lot are there because of probation but once you start going and meeting others you’ll be ok.. everyone is there to help you and each other
Where are you located?
Alcoholism is more than twice as common in men, so there is that.... Like other people said, if you can find a women's group, it might be a good place to start. Or a new comers meeting. Make sure you get a woman sponsor though.
The percentages are pretty close in my experience. Obviously it varies some from location to location. There are women’s meetings . The women in sobriety have helped me interact better with women in the world. I have helped them do the same with men. It’s all love .
I have found that There are SOME male dominate meetings. They are few and far between. There are women’s meetings, strictly for women only. I have found most co-ed meetings in city setting are well mixed. I enjoy coed meetings because, I often find the perspectives of men useful as well as some of their “no bs” rhetoric to snap me back to where I need to be… I like my woman’s meetings to easily identify women who are willing to sponsor or be in a friendship. Most of my “tribe” I have found in women’s meetings.
There are women only meetings too.
What would be a good thing since you said that it's mostly men at a AA meeting find a public place create one
Look online to see if there are any women’s groups near you.
