What members read between meetings

A.A.'s own literature does most of the heavy lifting between meetings in Arizona. These are the books most often spotted on a member's bookshelf, with a short note on what each one is for. Each card is tagged with its language.

About AA in Arizona

Phoenix metro: the largest AA calendar in the Mountain West

Salt River Intergroup coordinates roughly two thousand weekly meetings across Maricopa County, from central Phoenix to Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Glendale, Chandler, Gilbert, and the West Valley. Downtown and the historic neighborhoods around Encanto have early-morning and late-night meetings serving shift workers and people newly out of treatment. The East Valley college corridor near ASU has young-people's meetings, while Scottsdale and Paradise Valley host long-running step studies and Big Book groups. Snowbird season (October through April) noticeably increases attendance across the entire metro.

Tucson and Southern Arizona

Tucson Area Intergroup runs an independent meeting calendar serving Pima County and the surrounding communities. Tucson itself has a strong recovery culture built around the university, the medical centers, and the historic downtown core. Smaller meeting clusters serve Green Valley, Sierra Vista (near Fort Huachuca), Nogales on the border, and the retirement communities of SaddleBrooke and Oro Valley. The Southern Arizona meeting list includes more bilingual Spanish/English groups than the Phoenix area.

Northern Arizona and the high country

Flagstaff, Prescott, and Sedona each have meeting calendars that look more like Pacific Northwest mountain towns than the Sun Belt below. Flagstaff's downtown groups serve NAU students, Grand Canyon Park employees, and the year-round mountain community. Prescott has a longstanding recovery presence with several historic groups in the courthouse square area. Sedona's meetings are smaller but reliable. Page, Holbrook, and Winslow anchor the meeting calendar along the I-40 corridor. Several groups serve the Navajo and Hopi Nations directly.

Getting to a meeting in Arizona

Valley Metro covers most of the Phoenix area with light rail running from north Phoenix through downtown to Mesa, plus an expanding bus network. Sun Tran serves Tucson. Outside the metros, a car is essentially required. The directory shows each meeting's exact address and one-tap links to Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Waze. Many Phoenix-area meetings also offer hybrid format so you can join from home during summer high-heat days.

Is there support in Arizona for family and friends of someone who drinks?

Yes. 78% of the weekly AA schedule in Arizona is open meetings, which anyone may attend, including family and friends who want to understand what someone they love is going through. In all, 5 weekly sessions run alongside an Al-Anon meeting.

Al-Anon is a separate fellowship for people affected by someone else's drinking, and Alateen is its program for teenagers. Both are free and list their own meetings, in person and online, at al-anon.org. This directory lists AA meetings only.

AA is not treatment. For detox, treatment and sober living, see what other alcohol support there is besides AA.
