What members read between meetings
A.A.'s own literature does most of the heavy lifting between meetings in Minnesota. 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
Living 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 Amazon
Daily 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.

As 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.

Twin Cities: one of the most active AA regions in the country
Minneapolis Intergroup and Saint Paul-Ramsey Intergroup coordinate meetings across Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Anoka, and Washington counties. The Twin Cities have a notably active and varied AA culture; Minnesota's recovery community more broadly (including the Hazelden and treatment-industry presence) shapes the local meeting landscape. Uptown, Northeast, and the lakes neighborhoods anchor established calendars. The North Loop and downtown Minneapolis have evening meetings. St. Paul's Cathedral Hill, Highland, and Mac-Groveland each have neighborhood meeting clusters. The Spanish-language and Hmong meeting presence is substantial.
Duluth, the Iron Range, and Northeastern Minnesota
Duluth Area Intergroup serves the Twin Ports and the surrounding St. Louis and Carlton counties. The city's meeting calendar reflects the working-port and former mining history. The Iron Range (Hibbing, Virginia, Eveleth) maintains a meeting network shaped by both the mining-industry history and the current public-health response. The Boundary Waters region (Ely, Grand Marais) has smaller meeting calendars supplemented by hybrid options.
Rochester, St. Cloud, and Greater Minnesota
Rochester Area Intergroup serves Olmsted County and the Mayo Clinic community, which gives the city's meeting calendar an unusually professional and rotating-patient population. St. Cloud, Mankato, and Moorhead serve Greater Minnesota's regional centers. The Minnesota River Valley (New Ulm, Marshall) and the Red River Valley (Crookston, East Grand Forks) maintain smaller meeting networks.
Getting to a meeting in Minnesota
Metro Transit covers the Twin Cities with light rail (the Blue and Green Lines), commuter rail (Northstar), and an extensive bus network. DTA serves Duluth. Amtrak's Empire Builder runs through the state. Outside the metros, driving is the standard option.
