Calendar Event Sorting

At the top, the 24/7/365 SAMHSA Disaster Helpline and similar links.

Next, Bundled “All Day” Events

Some organizations (like 12 step recovery programs, AA, NA, AlAnon, etc.) have so many events happening throughout the day that they need to be in a bundled listing to spare endless scrolling.  Often there is a link to look up events by zip code and other criteria.

Lastly, Time-Specific Events

So you can see what’s happening in the next hours, time specific events are tagged and listed by start time from 12:01am early morning to 11:59pm late night.  There can be events and warmlines operating in different time zones, though we try to list all in Oregon’s Pacific Time Zone.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 or ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability. It affords similar protections against discrimination to Americans with disabilities as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which made discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin, and other characteristics illegal, and later sexual orientation and gender identity. In addition, unlike the Civil Rights Act, the ADA also requires covered employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities, and imposes accessibility requirements on public accommodations.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 or ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability.

In addition, unlike the Civil Rights Act, the ADA also requires covered employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities, and imposes accessibility requirements on public accommodations.

What Is Alcoholics Anonymous?

Alcoholics Anonymous is a community of men and women who have found a solution to their drinking problem. We are:

  • Anonymous – no personal information, no last names
  • Nonprofessional – no paid counselors
  • Self-supporting – no cost except what we choose to put in the basket
  • Inclusive – everyone is welcome
  • Non-political – we don’t take sides
  • Non-sectarian – not promoting any religion
  • Available almost everywhere in the U.S. and world-wide

About Meetings

A.A. Groups conduct meetings, usually weekly, where we share our experience, strength, and hope. Portland area meetings are listed on the Meetings page by day, time, and location.

The two most common kinds of A.A. meetings are:

OPEN MEETINGS: Open to alcoholics and their families, anyone who thinks they may have a drinking problem, as well as anyone curious about A.A.

CLOSED MEETINGS: Limited to those with a desire to stop drinking, they provide an opportunity for sharing on problems related to alcoholism and discussion of solutions found in the recovery program.

What happens at an A.A. Meeting?

Some meetings are specific to men, women, LBGTQ, and speakers of minority languages.  There is often some socializing before the meeting begins. Meetings commonly begin with a short prayer or moment of silence, followed by a few readings from A.A. literature.

Following announcements, the basket is passed; typical contributions are a dollar or two but are not required. The money collected is used for coffee, rent for the meeting space, A.A. literature purchases, and support of local, state, and national A.A. services, such as this website. Large donations are actively discouraged.

Common meeting formats include:

Speaker – one person relating their personal experience with alcoholism and recovery
Group discussion of a topic chosen by the chairperson
Step Study meeting where one or more of the 12 Steps are discussed

In keeping with A.A.’s primary purpose, discussion is generally focused on recovery from alcoholism.

The meeting is typically ended with a prayer, usually the Serenity Prayer or the Lord’s Prayer, often with the group forming a circle and holding hands. Participation in the prayer is optional. More socializing typically follows the close of the formal meeting, and members may gather afterward at a nearby coffee shop.

A.A. Preamble

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS® is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions.

AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization, or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes.

Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 or ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability. It affords similar protections against discrimination to Americans with disabilities as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which made discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin, and other characteristics illegal, and later sexual orientation and gender identity. In addition, unlike the Civil Rights Act, the ADA also requires covered employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities, and imposes accessibility requirements on public accommodations.

What Is Alcoholics Anonymous?

Alcoholics Anonymous is a community of men and women who have found a solution to their drinking problem. We are:

  • Anonymous – no personal information, no last names
  • Nonprofessional – no paid counselors
  • Self-supporting – no cost except what we choose to put in the basket
  • Inclusive – everyone is welcome
  • Non-political – we don’t take sides
  • Non-sectarian – not promoting any religion
  • Available almost everywhere in the U.S. and world-wide

About Meetings

A.A. Groups conduct meetings, usually weekly, where we share our experience, strength, and hope. Portland area meetings are listed on the Meetings page by day, time, and location.

The two most common kinds of A.A. meetings are:

OPEN MEETINGS: Open to alcoholics and their families, anyone who thinks they may have a drinking problem, as well as anyone curious about A.A.

CLOSED MEETINGS: Limited to those with a desire to stop drinking, they provide an opportunity for sharing on problems related to alcoholism and discussion of solutions found in the recovery program.

What happens at an A.A. Meeting?

Some meetings are specific to men, women, LBGTQ, and speakers of minority languages.  There is often some socializing before the meeting begins. Meetings commonly begin with a short prayer or moment of silence, followed by a few readings from A.A. literature.

Following announcements, the basket is passed; typical contributions are a dollar or two but are not required. The money collected is used for coffee, rent for the meeting space, A.A. literature purchases, and support of local, state, and national A.A. services, such as this website. Large donations are actively discouraged.

Common meeting formats include:

Speaker – one person relating their personal experience with alcoholism and recovery
Group discussion of a topic chosen by the chairperson
Step Study meeting where one or more of the 12 Steps are discussed

In keeping with A.A.’s primary purpose, discussion is generally focused on recovery from alcoholism.

The meeting is typically ended with a prayer, usually the Serenity Prayer or the Lord’s Prayer, often with the group forming a circle and holding hands. Participation in the prayer is optional. More socializing typically follows the close of the formal meeting, and members may gather afterward at a nearby coffee shop.

A.A. Preamble

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS® is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions.

AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization, or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes.

Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 or ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability. It affords similar protections against discrimination to Americans with disabilities as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which made discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin, and other characteristics illegal, and later sexual orientation and gender identity. In addition, unlike the Civil Rights Act, the ADA also requires covered employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities, and imposes accessibility requirements on public accommodations.
