About Foothills Group (AA) – Albuquerque
Foothills Group (AA) in Albuquerque, New Mexico is one of the best-rated Alcoholics Anonymous groups in the state. While the location of this AA group is absolutely beautiful, location doesn’t matter with Foothills Group. Why? This AA group is so dedicated to supporting anyone seeking recovery from alcohol addiction that they offer daily meetings in-person and virtually! The first meeting of the day starts at 7 AM and the last meeting of the day starts at 8 PM, so even for people with busy schedules, there are still opportunities for support and community.
I personally appreciate that Foothills Group is faith-based, but still offers other options for people who are seeking different options. Foothills Group also offers resources for anyone seeking meetings in Spanish, atheists and agnostics, and ASL interpreted meetings too. IOne notable feature is that Foothills Group also offers meetings specifically for younger people in AA. Plus, there is a Gamblers Anonymous group that meets in the same building.
There’s a ton of information Foothills Group provides for newcomers to AA meetings, but I love that they really make the main focus of their meetings your accountability and fellowship. Foothills does focus on a 12 Step program, but I think this program and the community that fills it wants to encourage all of their members, especially newcomers.
Current members of the AA program talk about how the fellowship offered at the AA meetings from Foothill are what keep them coming back for more, even if they’ve had relapses in their journey to recovery. A lot of current members have shared that they appreciate how judgment-free this group is and that the lack of judgment has helped to support long-term sobriety.
