How to Find AA Meetings Near You

Finding AA Meetings in Your Area

Alcoholics Anonymous meetings are available in virtually every city and town in the United States. Whether you live in a major metropolitan area or a rural community, there are meetings accessible to you. Our directory covers thousands of cities and allows you to search by meeting type and location to find the best fit for your schedule and preferences.

Choosing the Right Meeting

AA offers several different meeting formats, each with its own focus and structure. Open meetings welcome anyone interested in AA, while closed meetings are for people who identify as having a desire to stop drinking. Other formats include Big Book study, step study, speaker meetings, discussion groups, and specialty meetings for women, men, young people, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Trying a variety of meeting types is the best way to find the groups where you feel most comfortable and supported.

What If There Are No Meetings Nearby?

If you live in an area with limited in-person AA meetings, online meetings are an excellent alternative. Online AA meetings are held through video conferencing platforms and follow the same formats as in-person groups. They are available at various times throughout the day and evening, making it easy to find one that fits your schedule. Our directory includes online meeting resources to help you connect with the AA fellowship from anywhere.
