Do babies belong at AA meetings?

Posted By katie allison granju

12 step culture is an interesting thing.

I get some comfort from knowing that she’s been a regular at AA meetings since she was in diapers. At six-weeks-old she slept at my feet in her car seat, oblivious to the sounds of laughter and clapping that filled the room when someone shared or celebrated a sobriety milestone. Eventually, she graduated to bouncing on my lap in her jammies. She chortled and joined in the clapping with a goofy grin on her face. Now she looks forward to going to meetings with childcare providers because they’re like super-sized play dates.

    If the mother of a newborn baby needs to be at AA meetings, then definitely her baby belongs there with her.
