Shame can ride in the car with you. It does not get to pick the door.
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.
Tonight
Call (562) 989-7697 while the office is open, or open hacoaa.org. The office says there are no dues or fees, and that you do not have to reveal anything about yourself. For Spanish-language help, A.A.'s directory lists Oficina Intergrupal Hispana Su at (310) 516-8626, site aasurdelabahia.org.
A room with a name
The Harbor office supports meetings across the harbor cities and points you to the Meeting Guide app and its own list. Ask (562) 989-7697 which Long Beach meeting is next, and get the group name. NA around the harbor is a different fellowship. Bay Cities NA lists (310) 372-9666 on the regional helpline sheet.
Los Angeles Central Office is not this office. If your meeting is in Long Beach, Carson, or the harbor, start here so you are not driving to Wilshire for a room that is ten minutes away.
The first hour
A.A. says the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees. A basket may pass, and skipping it is fine. Open meetings welcome anyone who wants to listen, including family. Closed meetings are for people who have a drinking problem and want to stop. If you are unsure, start with an open meeting and say you are just listening.
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.
Drugs are a different door. The Long Beach NA guide has that helpline and those rooms. Stay with the numbers above when the problem is drinking.
If you need more than a meeting
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 Long Beach tonight, use the number or the list in the first section. In an emergency, call 911 or 988 first.
