Looking to go to my first meeting and I’m confused by abbreviations
 

Hello,
I am trying to find the right meeting for me. I am confused with the abbreviations next to the meetings. Most of them are explained in the legend but I cannot find what the abbreviation TNG means? Can anyone help? Thank you!

Hi Jules - if it's not on the site you got the meetings from, I'm not sure. It might be one of the Group titles like The Next Generation?

I haven't heard of TNG in an AA context, and a search turned up nothing, but I'll take a wild guess: trans-gender?

If you can find a meeting designated for newcomers, that might be a good place to start, although any meeting will do (as long as it doesn't discourage your particular gender or sexual orientation or whatever). Just go!

Not anything I’ve seen at AA. Must be an appreciated group name.

I started with the "easy" to understand type of meetings - OD (Open Discussion), BB (Big Book)....there's also W or M (Womens/Mens), 12 step, B (Beginners).....

Haven't heard of TNG and I go to at least 4-5 different meetings a week. Sounds like it could be an abbreviated name of the meeting. For example, one of the meetings I go to is called the "live & active group"

Yep, now that I think about what a couple people have said- sometimes the meeting lists show up by a "standard" abbrev like I mentioned before, and sometimes by name or abbreviation of it. My homegroup is the Bill W Lunch Group - plenty of places around here have "How It Works," "As Bill Sees It," Weekend Warriors," etc etc. If I was uncertain- I might go to a mtg with a std designation and ask people there about the other.
