For each State or Province, you will find information about the name of the group, the address and phone number, and a link to the respective website (if the group has a website). Once you locate a particular Alcoholics Anonymous group, you can call them or go to their website for an Alcoholic Anonymous meeting schedule.

Online Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings

For people who might be home-bound or who do not like to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in person, there are Alcoholics Anonymous meetings that take place online. Some of these meetings are "email" meetings, some take place in "real time," while others take place in delayed time.

In the fourth and final stage of alcohol addiction, having an easily accessible supply of alcohol close at hand (to avoid "the shakes") becomes one of, if not the most important, things in the life of the alcoholic. During this stage, alcoholics will do virtually anything to get the alcohol they require. Once the alcohol is secured, alcoholics will usually hide their bottles so that they can get a drink whenever they need it, which typically means any hour of the day or the night.

Key for Meeting Types

The following represents the "Key" for the different types of meetings that are available:

12 & 12 = 12 Steps and 12 Traditions
BB = Big Book
C = closed (Alcoholics Only)
CC = Child Care Available
DSP = Does Not Sign Court Papers
D = Discussion
FF = Floating Format
G = Gay

L = Lesbian
LS = Limited Smoking
M = Men only
M/L = Mini Lead with Topic
NS = Non Smoking

According to substance abuse research, denial is so common in people with alcohol abuse problems that denial itself is a warning sign of alcoholism. The alcoholic simply does not see, or refuses to admit, that alcohol use is the source of his or her problems.

Alcoholism, also known as alcohol addiction and alcohol dependence, is a disease that includes the following four symptoms: 1. Tolerance: the need to drink greater amounts of alcohol in order to feel a “buzz” or to get “high.” 2. Loss of control: an inability to stop drinking after the first drink. 3. Craving: having a strong urge or need to drink. 4. Physical dependence: withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, headaches, nausea, perspiration, and “the shakes” when abstaining from alcohol.
