At this time we are able to list some 765 A. A. meetings (103 of them Spanish-speaking), held in the 37 towns listed below.
Rather than separate them into as many pages as towns, we have combined neighboring meetings into 5 master pages, to which the index below will first bring our visitors. This should avoid needless page-jumping, and also give a broader overview of what is available, beyond our own groups, neighborhoods and towns.
Except in the case of localities with only a few meetings, the master pages also contain links to pages for the specific towns, for all who can use that format.
(The one exception to this is the High Desert area, where it's not yet certain whether a page with over 200 meetings would be of use. There we use a slightly different method.)
As with all we do in A. A., we rely on each other for meeting information. Where questions seem especially important to clear up, we have added a little pop-up note (Help!) to alert our visitors and ask for your help. In many cases (" ... Please advise on the status of this meeting") this may be a last attempt to make sure that a meeting is gone, before removing it from the lists, so informations is especially important.
Please let us know (s.i.meetings@gmail.com) of any corrections, additions, subtractions and other suggestions you may have – so that, together, we can let those who need us know where to find us.
This online listing of A. A. meetings is put together from many sources, including local and central office meeting directories, the listings of local clubs, and direct information from the groups and members involved.
It is offered as a free service to those who can use it. It is unaffiliated with any official bodies – or with any organization at all, for that matter.
— Unless specified as “Closed”, all meetings are open to anyone with an interest in recovery from alcoholism.
— “Closed” meetings are only for those who themselves have “a desire to stop drinking.”
— You may generally assume that there is no smoking in the meetings.
— The © symbol next to an address indicates that it is wheelchair-accessible.
— To make finding the meetings easier, and out of respect for our hosts, we try to fully identify the locations in which we meet.
— Where we do have to shorten names, we apologize. E.g., while all Methodists are in fact “United”,
the extra word often doesn't fit well in the lines.
— We have included Maps for each meeting, with pop-up Thomas Guide coordinates, where available.
— The meeting format, if not clear from the group name, is shown separately. If not specified, assume open discussion/participation.
— If only the format is known, the space for a group name is left blank.
— If there really is no A. A. group, however, it is not really an A. A. meeting at all. Please advise!
— Genuine A. A. meetings, and the groups that hold them, are not and never should be affiliated in any way with any locations
in which they are held, whether they be hospitals, schools, clubs, treatment or community centers, etc.
