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.

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 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.
