About AA in Alabama

Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, and Central Alabama

Birmingham Area Intergroup serves Jefferson and Shelby counties, including longstanding meetings in the Southside, Five Points, and Mountain Brook neighborhoods. Tuscaloosa has a substantial young-people's meeting presence near the University of Alabama. The Birmingham metro's meeting list reflects the city's central place in the Alabama recovery community.

Huntsville, Decatur, and the Tennessee Valley

Huntsville Area Intergroup serves Madison County and the surrounding Tennessee Valley communities. Huntsville's meeting calendar has grown rapidly with the city's tech-and-aerospace workforce. Decatur, Athens, and the smaller Valley communities maintain steady weekly schedules. Florence and Muscle Shoals anchor the meeting calendar in the northwest corner.

Montgomery and the Black Belt

Montgomery Area Intergroup serves the state capital and the surrounding Central Alabama communities. The Black Belt counties (Selma, Demopolis, Greenville) maintain smaller but reliable weekly meeting schedules. Auburn and Opelika have a meeting cluster near Auburn University and along the I-85 corridor.

Mobile, Baldwin County, and the Gulf Coast

Mobile Area Intergroup serves Mobile and the surrounding Gulf Coast counties, including Daphne, Fairhope, and the Eastern Shore communities. The Gulf Coast meeting calendar grows noticeably during peak beach season. Dothan anchors the Wiregrass meeting network in the southeast corner.

Yes. 68% of the weekly AA schedule in Alabama is open meetings, which anyone may attend, including family and friends who want to understand what someone they love is going through. In all, 11 weekly sessions run alongside an Al-Anon meeting, and 2 alongside Alateen.
