Welcome to AA Toronto Agnostics…a site for agnostics, atheists, secularists, and free thinkers in Alcoholics Anonymous in the Greater Toronto Area. This site was recently (AUG2019) taken over by someone who has zero knowledge of Weebly. If you're looking for a well formatted web site, please take over the responsibility of maintaining it. If you're looking for accuracy of meeting times, I'll do my best.
Long form of Tradition 3"Our membership ought to include all who suffer from alcoholism. Hence we may refuse none who wish to recover. Nor ought A.A. membership
ever depend upon money or conformity. Any two or three alcoholics gathered together for sobriety may call themselves an A.A. group, provided that, as a group, they have no other affiliation." Beyond Belief meeting locations and times changed for Monday, Thursday, and Saturday.
As of May 1, 2018 meetings are in the following rooms: Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) 252 Bloor Street West — (look for "Beyond Belief" signs). MONDAY 7 PM - 8 PM Rm 2-296 THURSDAY 7 PM - 8 PM Rm 5-230 SATURDAY 6:30 - 7:30 PM Rm 2-296 Toronto's West End.

Agnostic MeetingsA.A. agnostic meetings endeavour to maintain a tradition of free expression, and conduct a meeting where alcoholics may feel free to express any doubts or disbelief they may have, and to share their own personal form of spiritual experience, their search for it, or their rejection of it.
In keeping with A.A. tradition, we do not endorse or oppose any form of religion or atheism. Our only wish is to ensure suffering alcoholics that they can find sobriety in A.A. without having to accept anyone else's beliefs, or having to deny their own. In accordance with Greater Toronto Area (GTA) Intergroup Procedures and Guidelines, " An AA group needs to adopt only the 12 Steps, 12 Traditions and 12 Concepts of AA, as adopted by the AA General Service Board, in order to be recognized as an AA group by GTA Intergroup," Toronto and area agnostic groups meet this standard. Furthermore, we recognize that these operating procedures sets out what our fellow GTA groups have agreed upon, not what has been imposed upon them. OLDER NEWS
