I said aa.org, but alcoholicsanonymous.com might be better. And if you go to your app store and search Alcoholics Anonymous, you can download an AA meeting guide. If you think you might need more professional help to quit, MCCA in Danbury has a week long detox, as well as a 30 day rehab, and other counseling options as well. Good luck in your journey!

There are really good meetings at The Fellowship Center in Danbury (15 Great Pasture Rd). It's right on the Danbury/Bethel line. You should be able to find the times & days on the list of meetings at aa.org. Show up to one or two there, and then you'll be able to find out about more stuff they have going on. It's the best place/community around this area that I found when I was going to meetings. They're welcoming, lots of people offered their numbers for support, and there are people of all ages. Also, try the ones in the evening at the Congregational Church in Brookfield. Those have always been fairly large with a good mix of people. And, I don't know your age, but the "Do it Sober Young People's Group" Sunday nights at 17 Cottage St is huge and always really good. Also, when you're looking at the list of meetings on the AA website (or app), look for beginners groups. I've only been to a couple meetings in Newtown, and unfortunately, each one only had about 5-10 people, and mostly old-timers. There's nothing wrong with that, but let's just say, I never went back to any in Newtown (I'm sure there are better ones I never attended). Let me know if you have any questions. It's, unfortunately, trial and error to find groups/meetings you like, but those places I mentioned should be a great start.
