Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings

Alcoholics Anonymous is a worldwide fellowship of people who help one another stay sober through a twelve-step program of recovery from alcoholism. Meetings are free and anonymous, and the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.

Fellow lists 39,468 in-person Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings across the US, plus 10,418 online. Details change often — confirm with the group before you go. For live day/time filters and maps, search AA meetings →

A meeting is peer support, not medical care. If you've been drinking or using heavily for a long time, stopping suddenly can be risky — some withdrawal needs medical attention, and alcohol withdrawal in particular can be dangerous. If you feel unwell or unsafe, contact a doctor or your local emergency number.

Beyond the meetings

Ways to come together

Recovery is bigger than the meeting room. Sober socials, alcohol-free nightlife, and communities where it's easy to make friends who get it — because who you meet matters as much as the meeting.

Common questions about AA

Are AA meetings free and anonymous?

Yes. AA meetings are free to attend — no dues, fees, referral, or insurance needed — and anonymity is a core principle, so you can come as you are. Anyone who wants help is welcome.

Can I attend AA meetings online?

Yes. Fellow lists 10,418 online AA meetings you can join from anywhere, alongside in-person groups near you.

Do I have to call myself an alcoholic to go to AA?

No — you don't need a diagnosis or a label. Closed meetings are for anyone with a desire to stop drinking; open meetings welcome visitors too. Check whether a meeting is listed as open or closed, and come as you are.

Do I have to be religious to join AA?

No. AA welcomes people of any religion or none. The program is usually described as spiritual rather than religious, and many areas offer secular, agnostic, or non-religious meetings.

Are there AA meetings for specific groups, like women's or young people's?

Often, yes. Larger areas hold meetings for specific communities — women's, men's, young people's, LGBTQ+, and newcomers' groups among them. Use Fellow's live search to filter for the meeting that fits.
