A.A.'s own literature does most of the heavy lifting between meetings in South Australia. 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.
The book Bill W. and Dr. Bob wrote first, in 1939. Most members pick up a copy in their first week or two and keep it close.
Look on Amazon
Bill W.'s longer essays on each Step and each Tradition. The usual companion read once the Big Book starts to feel familiar.
Look on Amazon
A short, practical book about the day-to-day of staying sober. Often the one a sponsor suggests in the first month.
Look on Amazon
One short A.A. reading for each day of the year, with a thought to carry into it. Members often keep a copy on the kitchen counter.
Look on Amazon
Brief passages from A.A.'s co-founder, arranged by topic. Some groups read one aloud at the top of every meeting.
Look on AmazonMembers' own short accounts of what "a Power greater than ourselves" came to mean to them. Helpful for anyone wary of the word God.
Look on AmazonThe same 12&12 essays in a larger typeface. Often the edition kept for reading aloud or for easier eyes.
Look on AmazonBrowse the wider shelf of A.A.-approved reading — Living Sober, Daily Reflections, the Grapevine collections, and more.

Open to the public. Family, friends, and anyone curious about A.A. are welcome to attend.
For people with a desire to stop drinking. What is shared stays in the room.

AA membership has one requirement: a desire to stop drinking. South Australia's meetings are open to anyone who meets it.
This directory lists 106 AA meetings in South Australia across 68 cities. AA is not treatment and does not provide detox, medical care, or housing. Those are separate services, and knowing which is which matters.
| Option | What it is | Medically supervised | How it is paid for |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA meetings | Free peer support groups, in person and online | No | Free, self supporting through member contributions |
| Detox | Short term supervised withdrawal while alcohol leaves the body | Yes | Health service or paid, depending on the provider |
| Residential treatment | Residential rehabilitation, living on site for a set period | Yes | Health service, insurance, or self funded |
| Outpatient treatment | Community and outpatient AOD services, structured sessions while living at home | Usually | Health service, insurance, or self funded |
| Sober living | Sober living and transitional housing, shared abstinent housing with house rules | No | Usually rent paid by the resident |
Not always. Stopping suddenly after heavy daily drinking can cause withdrawal that is genuinely dangerous, which is why supervised withdrawal exists as its own service. If you drink heavily every day, speak to a doctor or a withdrawal service first. This is the published position of the Alcohol and Drug Foundation, not advice from this directory.
Sober living and transitional housing are shared homes where everyone is staying sober, usually with house rules and required meeting attendance. It is housing, not treatment. Residents commonly move in after residential treatment and attend local AA meetings as part of the house agreement.
If you would rather speak to somebody today than read further, these are free, confidential, and not run by this site:
