Alcoholics Anonymous (A. A.) Meetings in West Oakland, California 

This page lists the 96 A. A. meetings that we know of in the western half of Oakland. This should make available full information for them all in a single place, lessen the need to jump from page to page, and strengthen the sense of a broader A. A., beyond our own groups, neighborhoods and towns.

    This division is made to make it somewhat easier to find the meetings in the page, as compared with the complete Oakland listing, which runs to some 239 meetings. There is also of course the complementary page for the East Oakland meetings. The division is purely arbitrary, drawn from the local Thomas Guide ('west' = pp. 629/649). Any suggestions for a more natural division, perhaps based on specific neighborhoods, will be cheerfully received.

    As with all we do in A. A., we rely on each other for meeting information. Where something seems especially important to clear up, we have added a little pop-up note (Help!) alerting our visitors and asking for your assistance.

    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.

    Notes

— 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.
