What members read between meetings

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

Alcoholics Anonymous (the Big Book)

About AA in Florida

South Florida: Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach

Greater Miami Intergroup coordinates a dense weekly schedule across Miami-Dade County, including a strong Spanish-language presence in Hialeah, Little Havana, Doral, and Kendall, plus Haitian Creole meetings in North Miami. Broward Intergroup serves Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, and the surrounding communities, including notable LGBTQ+ AA presence in Wilton Manors. Palm Beach County Intergroup covers West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and the recovery-community-dense Treasure Coast extension up through Stuart.

Central Florida: Orlando, Tampa, and the I-4 corridor

Central Florida Intergroup serves Orlando, Winter Park, Kissimmee, and the surrounding Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties, including meetings that serve the Disney and theme-park workforce around the clock. Tampa Bay Intergroup covers Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and the surrounding Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties. Lakeland, Winter Haven, and the I-4 corridor between Tampa and Orlando have established meeting networks.

North Florida, Jacksonville, and the Panhandle

Jacksonville Area Intergroup serves the city and the surrounding First Coast communities. Gainesville has a meeting cluster near the University of Florida. Tallahassee, the state capital, has a steady weekly calendar serving state-government workers plus FSU and FAMU student populations. The Panhandle (Pensacola, Panama City, Destin) has its own meeting networks shaped by the military bases and the beach-resort communities.

Southwest Florida and the snowbird coast

Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota, and Bradenton anchor Southwest Florida meeting networks that visibly expand during snowbird season. Cape Coral, Port Charlotte, and the smaller Gulf-coast communities maintain year-round schedules. The Florida Keys (Key Largo, Marathon, Key West) have small but consistent meeting calendars.

Getting to a meeting in Florida

Metrorail and Metrobus cover Miami-Dade. Broward County Transit and Palm Tran serve the rest of South Florida. Tri-Rail commuter rail runs from Mangonia Park to MIA. LYNX serves Orlando, HART serves Tampa, JTA serves Jacksonville. Brightline runs higher-speed rail between Orlando and Miami via West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale. Outside the metros, driving is the standard option.

Is there support in Florida for family and friends of someone who drinks?

Yes. 68% of the weekly AA schedule in Florida is open meetings, which anyone may attend, including family and friends who want to understand what someone they love is going through. In all, 10 weekly sessions run alongside an Al-Anon meeting, and 6 alongside Alateen.

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.
