What members read between meetings

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

Bill W.'s longer essays on each Step and each Tradition. The usual companion read once the Big Book starts to feel familiar.

Look on Amazon

A short, practical book about the day-to-day of staying sober. Often the one a sponsor suggests in the first month.

Look on Amazon

One 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 Amazon

Brief passages from A.A.'s co-founder, arranged by topic. Some groups read one aloud at the top of every meeting.

About AA in Maryland

Baltimore metro and the central counties

Baltimore Area Intergroup serves Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Anne Arundel, Howard, and the surrounding central Maryland counties. The city's meeting calendar includes longstanding groups in Fells Point, Federal Hill, Hampden, and Mount Vernon. The county-side calendar covers Towson, Pikesville, Catonsville, and the suburbs. Annapolis, the state capital, has weekday meetings serving state-government and Naval Academy populations.

Montgomery and Prince George's: the DC suburbs

Montgomery County's meeting calendar runs through Bethesda, Silver Spring, Rockville, Gaithersburg, and Germantown. Prince George's County has its own meeting network across College Park, Hyattsville, Bowie, and Largo. The Spanish-language meeting presence is substantial in both counties. The federal-commuter rhythm shapes weekday meeting schedules. Several meetings coordinate with the DC and Northern Virginia fellowships.

Eastern Shore, Western Maryland, and Southern Maryland

Eastern Shore meetings run from Elkton and Chestertown down through Salisbury and the beach communities of Ocean City and Berlin. Western Maryland (Hagerstown, Cumberland, Frostburg) maintains its own meeting network across Allegany, Garrett, and Washington counties. Southern Maryland (Waldorf, Lexington Park, Leonardtown) serves communities shaped in part by the Naval Air Station Patuxent River workforce.
