At this time (11/6/09) we list some 4,285 meetings in Los Angeles County, 915 of them Spanish-speaking, as well as others in Armenian, Farsi, Finnish, French, Japanese, Korean and Russian. If all these meetings were listed separately by town, they would cover more than 150 web pages.
To make this index – and the listings themselves – more easy to navigate and use, we have therefore combined neighboring meetings into 23 'master pages', to which the index below will first bring our visitors. We hope this will limit the need to jump from page to page, as well as give a broader view of what is available around us, beyond our own groups, neighborhoods and towns.
In addition, for those who can use them, the master pages in turn do contain links to separate pages for all locations with (roughly) two or more meetings each day.
Finally, the recent addition of some 900 Spanish-language meetings to the list, each in the city in which it takes place, has caused a few pages to become just a bit unwieldy, even by our standards. This has most notably affected the northern and southern master pages for the city of Los Angeles itself, now with 413 and 292 meetings respectively.
Here we have provided (somewhat) smaller alternate pages for each of these, for those seeking English or Spanish meetings only in that area. We hope to improve on this in the future, especially for ease of use, most likely as soon as we've finished listing the meetings in the rest of the state.
As with all we do in A. A., we rely on each other for meeting information. Where something is especially important to clear up, we have added a little pop-up note [Help!] to alert our visitors and ask for your help.
Please let us know – s.i.meetings@gmail.com – of any corrections, additions, subtractions and 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 community resources, and direct information from the groups and members involved.
It is offered as a free service to anybody 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.
— Meeting formats, if not in the group name, are shown separately. Where none is 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, should never be affiliated in any way with any locations
in which they are held, whether they be hospitals, schools, clubs, treatment or community centers, etc.
