If you are scared of the first hour, that feeling is ordinary.
If the night turns medical, call 911 when someone is overdosing, seizing, not breathing, or cannot be woken. If you might hurt yourself, call or text 988. Come back to a meeting when you are safe.
Who to call
Call (513) 351-0422 or open aacincinnati.org. A.A.'s own directory lists this office and the same number as both the phone and the helpline. The meetings page has a downloadable in-person list and a link for clubhouse addresses. Use those, or let the person on the phone name the next group.
Where to sit
The office's meetings page sends you to the live list and a clubhouse sheet. Call and ask for a meeting that starts soon, then write down the group name and the street. Confirm it. Cincinnati groups move.
NA in Cincinnati is a different fellowship, with the hope line (513) 820-2947. If drugs are the thing you need to talk about, use that list. If it is alcohol, stay with the intergroup.
What the hour is like
The first hour is people telling the truth about drinking and what they did next. You can arrive early, take a seat, and not share. Nobody takes your last name. Anonymity means what you hear in the room stays there.
Our meeting finder searches public A.A. listings by day and ZIP. It is one more place to look. The local list is the one to trust when they disagree, and you should still confirm with the group.
If what you need to say is about drugs, open the Cincinnati NA guide. The rooms named above are A.A.
When a meeting is not enough
Peer support and medical care are different doors. NIDA describes groups like A.A. as peer-led. Use the meeting for the meeting. Use 911, 988, or a clinician when the body is in trouble. SAMHSA answers 1-800-662-HELP (4357), and FindTreatment.gov lists programs. (800) 653-9376 is our treatment referral line.
If you want a treatment referral, call or text (800) 653-9376. If you want a meeting in Cincinnati tonight, use the number or the list in the first section. In an emergency, call 911 or 988 first.
