What members read between meetings
A.A.'s own literature does most of the heavy lifting between meetings in Manitoba. 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.

Living Sober
EnglishA short, practical book about the day-to-day of staying sober. Often the one a sponsor suggests in the first month.
Look on Amazon
Daily Reflections

As Bill Sees It

Recovery Support in Manitoba Beyond Meetings
This directory lists 137 AA meetings in Manitoba across 78 cities. AA is not treatment and does not provide detox, medical care, or housing. Those are separate services, and knowing which is which matters.
What kinds of alcohol support are there in Canada?
| 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 medically supervised detox while alcohol leaves the body | Yes | Health service or paid, depending on the provider |
| Residential treatment | Inpatient or residential treatment, living on site for a set period | Yes | Health service, insurance, or self funded |
| Outpatient treatment | Outpatient and intensive outpatient programmes, structured sessions while living at home | Usually | Health service, insurance, or self funded |
| Sober living | Sober living homes and recovery residences, shared abstinent housing with house rules | No | Usually rent paid by the resident |
Is it safe to stop drinking without medical help?
Not always. Stopping suddenly after heavy daily drinking can cause withdrawal that is genuinely dangerous, which is why medically supervised detox 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 CCSA, not advice from this directory.
What is a sober living home and who is it for?
Sober living homes and recovery residences 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.
Where can I get free and confidential help now?
If you would rather speak to somebody today than read further, these are free, confidential, and not run by this site:
- Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction.
- Alcohol helplines in Canada are run province by province rather than nationally. CCSA maintains the current list.
- Emergency and crisis contacts if the situation is urgent right now.
Service details verified against CCSA on . The AA Directory lists meetings. It does not run, recommend, rank, or take payment from any treatment provider, sober living home operator, or detox service, and has no affiliation with the groups it lists.
Is there support in Manitoba for family and friends of someone who drinks?
Yes. 12% of the weekly AA schedule in Manitoba is open meetings, which anyone may attend, including family and friends who want to understand what someone they love is going through.
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.
