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

New Orleans metro: meetings around the clock
New Orleans Intergroup runs a coordinated meeting calendar across Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, St. Tammany, and Plaquemines parishes. The French Quarter and the Marigny have a long tradition of late-night and early-morning meetings, including a few that have run continuously since the 1960s. Uptown and the Garden District have neighborhood step studies and Big Book groups, while Mid-City and Gentilly anchor weekday lunch options. The North Shore (Mandeville, Covington, Slidell) has its own dense suburban-style calendar serving commuters.
Baton Rouge and the capital region
Baton Rouge Area Intergroup covers East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Ascension, Livingston, and the surrounding parishes. The downtown and Garden District groups serve the state-government and LSU communities. The Mid City and Sherwood Forest areas have established neighborhood meetings. Gonzales, Prairieville, and Denham Springs anchor the I-10/I-12 commuter corridor calendars.
Acadiana: Lafayette and the Cajun parishes
Lafayette Area Intergroup serves Lafayette, Vermilion, Iberia, St. Martin, and the surrounding Acadiana parishes. The meeting culture reflects the region's tight-knit Cajun and Creole communities, with many groups that have been meeting in the same church hall or community center for decades. New Iberia, Abbeville, and Opelousas each have small but reliable weekly calendars.
Shreveport, Monroe, and North Louisiana
AA of Shreveport-Bossier (the AA Central Office at aa-shreveport.org) coordinates meetings across Caddo, Bossier, and the surrounding North Louisiana parishes, with a steady weekly schedule of in-person, online, and hybrid options. Monroe-West Monroe Intergroup serves Ouachita Parish and the I-20 corridor east. The North Louisiana meeting calendar includes a strong Big Book and step-study tradition. Alexandria and the Central Louisiana parishes round out the state's meeting coverage.

When traveling to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in Louisiana, call ahead to confirm meeting times, verify the address, and get directions. Many AA groups warmly welcome newcomers, first-timers, and out-of-town visitors. If lack of transportation is preventing you from attending meetings, reach out to local AA groups via the AA hotline—many members volunteer to give free rides to people in early recovery, or can connect you with Zoom meetings and online AA meetings.
