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

Portland, Southern Maine, and the Seacoast
Maine General Service serves the state, with the densest meeting calendar in and around Portland, South Portland, Westbrook, and the surrounding Cumberland County communities. The Old Port and East End have established neighborhood groups. The York County coast (Wells, Ogunquit, Kennebunk, Saco) anchors meetings that grow seasonally with summer traffic. Lewiston-Auburn, the state's second-largest metro, has its own substantial meeting calendar.
Midcoast, Acadia, and Down East Maine
The Midcoast (Bath, Brunswick, Rockland, Camden) maintains year-round meetings that expand during summer. Bar Harbor and the Acadia region see substantial summer growth. Ellsworth and the Down East communities (Machias, Eastport, Lubec) maintain smaller meeting networks reaching to the Canadian border.
Central Maine, Bangor, and the North Woods
Augusta, the state capital, has weekday meetings serving state-government workers. Waterville and Skowhegan round out Central Maine. Bangor anchors the Penobscot Valley meeting network. The North Woods communities (Greenville, Millinocket, Houlton, Caribou, Presque Isle, Fort Kent) maintain meeting networks adapted to the geography, often with hybrid options.
