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

Atlanta metro: the largest AA calendar in the Southeast
Atlanta Intergroup coordinates a dense weekly schedule across Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Clayton, and the surrounding counties. Midtown, Buckhead, the Old Fourth Ward, and Decatur each have established neighborhood meeting clusters. The LGBTQ+ AA presence in Midtown and East Atlanta is long-running. The Korean-language meeting calendar around Duluth and Suwanee is one of the largest in the country. Spanish-language meetings cluster in Marietta, Gwinnett, and the southside communities.
Savannah, the coast, and South Georgia
Savannah anchors the coastal meeting calendar serving Chatham County and the surrounding communities. Brunswick, St. Simons, and the Golden Isles have year-round meeting networks shaped by both the resident population and the resort traffic. Macon, Albany, Valdosta, and the smaller South Georgia cities each support their own meeting clusters.
Athens, the Foothills, and North Georgia
Athens has a substantial young-people's meeting presence near UGA plus established downtown groups. The North Georgia mountains (Dahlonega, Blue Ridge, Ellijay, Helen) maintain smaller meeting networks that grow noticeably during peak tourist seasons. Gainesville and the Lake Lanier communities have steady weekly schedules. Augusta serves the Central Savannah River Area, including across the South Carolina state line.

MARTA covers the Atlanta core with heavy rail and bus service. Other metros use CAT (Savannah), Macon Transit, Athens Transit, and a network of smaller agencies. Amtrak's Crescent runs Atlanta to New Orleans and northeast to DC and NYC. Outside the metros, driving is the standard option.
