What members read between meetings

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

About AA in Montana

Billings, Bozeman, and the I-90 corridor

Billings anchors the state's largest meeting calendar, including a dense weekday schedule and several long-running historic groups. Bozeman's meeting network has grown rapidly with the city's population over the past two decades and now includes a substantial young-people's and university-area presence near MSU. Missoula serves the western part of the state with meetings near the University of Montana and in the surrounding Bitterroot Valley. Helena, the state capital, has a steady weekly schedule serving the state-government workforce.

Northern Montana, Glacier country, and the Hi-Line

Great Falls anchors the meeting calendar along the Hi-Line corridor. Kalispell and the Flathead Valley have a tight-knit meeting network serving the year-round community and the growing summer-resort population near Glacier National Park. Whitefish and Columbia Falls have small but reliable calendars. Havre, Glasgow, and the smaller Hi-Line communities maintain meetings that serve both residents and the agricultural workforce.

Eastern Montana and the rural counties

Eastern Montana (Miles City, Glendive, Sidney) has a smaller but well-coordinated meeting network shaped by the agricultural and oil-field economies. Several meetings run hybrid format so members in remote ranching communities can attend regularly. The directory tags hybrid options so you can filter to what works.

Getting to a meeting in Montana

Public transit is limited outside the largest cities. Mountain Line serves Missoula; MET Transit serves Billings. Amtrak's Empire Builder runs across the Hi-Line, stopping at Havre, Malta, Glasgow, Wolf Point, and other communities. Outside those, driving is the standard option. The directory shows each meeting's exact address with one-tap navigation links.

Finding AA Meetings in Montana

Montana leans toward open meetings: 72% of the weekly schedule is open to anyone, against 28% closed. Wheelchair access is listed for 50% of them.

Is there support in Montana for family and friends of someone who drinks?

Yes. 72% of the weekly AA schedule in Montana is open meetings, which anyone may attend, including family and friends who want to understand what someone they love is going through.

Al-Anon is a separate fellowship for people affected by someone else's drinking, and Alateen is its program for teenagers. Both are free and list their own meetings, in person and online, at al-anon.org. This directory lists AA meetings only.

AA is not treatment. For detox, treatment and sober living, see what other alcohol support there is besides AA.
