how long does it take for an AA meeting
how many hours does it take for an AA meeting?
does it usually take 1 to 2 hours? too petty to ask but been waiting for my hubby to call after the meeting. been almost two hours since he left. got suddenly scared with the thought of him going the "other way". if it is a sin to doubt, forgive me.

ok, mayan, its time to put it in God's hands. if ya pray dont worry, if ya worry dont pray. it isnt a sin to doubt, but it aint doin ya any good.
worrying is like sittin in a rocking chair. it gives ya something to do, but doesnt get ya anywhere.

The meeting usually takes about an hour but often, there is a lot of connecting and conversation after the meeting. Our minds often go into the orbit of what ifs. Doing something to keep myself busy usually helps me.

It depends on the type of meeting. Speaker meetings, discussion meetings here are usually one hour and a half. step studies usually one hour. Also, I was told to come early and help set up and stay late to help tidy up and meet others. Also, to be available for coffee afterward if asked or ask someone new or in need for coffee and pie.
It's important to socialize and get to know the folks in your meetings. Anyway, that's how it is out here.

he is back!!!!! thank GOD , and you were right, the sharing was an hour and he told me that there had been few more talks after that. He said and showed me a book that they gave him. (i saw it coz we were on facetime) It says, something like "just for Today" kind of reading material, and "for a newcomer: i think. We started our hellos on the phone with a prayer. He said " hi hon, pray with me before we start " and i gladly did. He said the prayer of serenity and i followed. I was crying in JOY deep inside me. And I am continously praying that everything will work for US and everybody. Thank you everyone. from the bottom of my heart.
