What members read between meetings

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

Metro Detroit: the largest AA calendar in Michigan

Detroit Area Intergroup coordinates several thousand weekly meetings across Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties. Downtown Detroit and Midtown have noon meetings serving the office and hospital workforce; the East Side and the West Side each have historic groups that have been running for decades. Hamtramck has a long Polish-American meeting tradition (the Polish-language meetings here are among the oldest in the country). Dearborn anchors the area's Arabic-language presence. The Oakland County suburbs (Royal Oak, Birmingham, Bloomfield, Troy, Farmington Hills) and the Macomb County communities (Sterling Heights, Warren, Clinton Township) have dense suburban-style commuter calendars. Ann Arbor anchors a young-people's presence near Michigan.

Lansing, Grand Rapids, and Western Michigan

Greater Lansing Intergroup covers Lansing, East Lansing (MSU), and the surrounding capital-region communities. Western Michigan Intergroup serves Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Holland, and the Lake Michigan shore towns. The Grand Rapids meeting calendar reflects the city's tight-knit recovery community, with several decades-old groups downtown and across the Heritage Hill, Eastown, and Westside neighborhoods. Muskegon, Grand Haven, and the Lakeshore communities maintain year-round meeting calendars that visibly increase in attendance during the summer.

Northern Lower Peninsula and the Upper Peninsula

Northwest Michigan Intergroup serves Traverse City, Cadillac, Petoskey, and the surrounding Northern Lower Peninsula counties. The meeting culture here is shaped by both the year-round resort-town workforce and the seasonal vacation surge. Upper Peninsula Intergroup covers a vast geography from Sault Ste. Marie to Marquette, Houghton, Escanaba, and the Wisconsin border. UP meetings tend to be smaller and tightly connected, with hybrid format keeping weekly attendance possible across the sparsely populated counties and harsh winter conditions.

Flint, Saginaw, and the I-75 corridor

Flint Area Intergroup and Saginaw Area Intergroup serve Genesee, Saginaw, Bay, and Midland counties, with meeting networks shaped by the region's industrial history and post-industrial recovery culture. Bay City and Midland anchor smaller but reliable calendars. The Thumb counties (Tuscola, Huron, Sanilac) maintain agricultural-community meeting networks.

Getting to a meeting in Michigan

DDOT and SMART cover Metro Detroit with bus service; the QLine streetcar runs along Woodward Avenue. The Rapid serves Grand Rapids; CATA serves Lansing. Amtrak runs the Wolverine (Pontiac-Detroit-Chicago), Blue Water (Port Huron-Chicago), and Pere Marquette (Grand Rapids-Chicago). Outside the metros, driving is the standard option.
