A.A.'s own literature does most of the heavy lifting between meetings in Ontario. 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.

AA meetings in Ontario run in several formats. Here is a brief overview:
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.
A member shares their story of "experience, strength, and hope." Often a good starting point for newcomers.
Groups that read and work through the 12 Steps together, applying the principles to everyday situations.
Toronto is Ontario's most active AA community with 125 meetings. Other cities with an AA presence include Ottawa, Hamilton, London.
Online AA meetings in Ontario follow the same format as in-person meetings: shared readings, personal shares, and open discussion. They are a practical option for people in rural areas, those with mobility constraints, or anyone whose schedule makes regular travel difficult.
Anyone can walk into an AA meeting in Ontario without prior registration. You are not expected to speak, and you only need to give your first name if you choose to. Many groups keep printed material on hand for people attending for the first time.
While many meetings in Ontario are conducted in the local language, major cities typically offer English-speaking meetings. Check the meeting details for language information or contact the local AA intergroup for guidance.
AA membership has one requirement: a desire to stop drinking. Ontario's meetings are open to anyone who meets it.
This directory lists 1,519 AA meetings in Ontario across 346 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 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 |
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.
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.
If you would rather speak to somebody today than read further, these are free, confidential, and not run by this site:
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.
Yes. 34% of the weekly AA schedule in Ontario is open meetings, which anyone may attend, including family and friends who want to understand what someone they love is going through. In all, 2 weekly sessions run alongside an Al-Anon meeting.
