What members read between meetings

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

Alcoholics Anonymous (the Big Book)

English

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.

Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions

English

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

Living Sober

English

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

Daily Reflections

English

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

As Bill Sees It

About AA in Netherlands

Amsterdam and the Randstad

Amsterdam has the largest meeting calendar in the country, with Dutch-language groups across the city centre, Oud-Zuid, De Pijp, Oost, and Noord, plus a substantial English-language schedule serving the international community. Several English-speaking meetings have been running for decades. Rotterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht round out the Randstad meeting network.

The rest of the Netherlands

Eindhoven, Groningen, Maastricht, Tilburg, and the smaller cities maintain regional meeting networks. The meeting culture is shaped by the country's small geography and dense rail network, which makes attending meetings in other cities practical.

Getting to a meeting in the Netherlands

Amsterdam has GVB Metro, tram, and bus service. The Dutch railways (NS) connect the entire country densely. Bicycles are a primary mode of transport in most cities. The directory shows each meeting's exact address with one-tap navigation links.
