When the courts mandate attendance at AA meetings, AA participants work with defense attorneys to verify attendance. In some cases a sign in sheet is made available for visitors to an AA meeting to report attendance to the court.

An AA meeting refers to an Alcoholics Anonymous support group meeting. Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who have experienced problems with drinking. Anyone who has a desire to do something about their drinking can join.

Proof of attendance at meetings is not part of A.A.'s procedure. Each group is autonomous and has the right to choose whether or not to provide proof of attendance at their meeting.

In most groups, the chairperson or another officer calls the business meeting, which ordinarily is held on a monthly or quarterly basis. While some groups may occasionally permit nonmembers to attend, the group may request that only home group members participate or vote.

14 percent of AA members stay sober between 10 and 20 years. 22 percent of AA members stay sober 20 or more years. The average length of AA member sobriety is nearly 10 years.

And, in order to be an “official” AA group – often required by the Intergroups before your meeting is listed – you can fill out the New Group Form (3rd page) and thereby be registered with the AA General Service Office (GSO).

The only requirement for AA membership is the desire to stop drinking. There are open and closed meetings. Open meetings are open for anyone to attend, regardless if a person is interested in ceasing alcohol intake or not. Closed meetings are only for those who are serious about quitting drinking.

Some may not provide it at all. So, ask at the beginning of the meeting and not at the end. Usually, you will have to make your request either verbally or by using the chat interface. The secretary of the group may ask for your email address to email the verification after the meeting is over.
