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.
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 AmazonBill W.'s longer essays on each Step and each Tradition. The usual companion read once the Big Book starts to feel familiar.
Look on AmazonLiving 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 AmazonDaily Reflections
EnglishOne 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 AmazonAs Bill Sees It
EnglishBrief passages from A.A.'s co-founder, arranged by topic. Some groups read one aloud at the top of every meeting.
Look on AmazonA.A.'s foundational text — the "Big Book" — in Dutch.

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.
