What members read between meetings
A.A.'s own literature does most of the heavy lifting between meetings in New Jersey. 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 AmazonBill W.'s longer essays on each Step and each Tradition. The usual companion read once the Big Book starts to feel familiar.
Look on AmazonLiving 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 AmazonDaily 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.
Look on AmazonAs 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.

North Jersey: the NYC commuter belt
Bergen-Passaic Intergroup, Hudson County Intergroup, Essex County Intergroup, and Union County Intergroup cover the densely populated North Jersey counties facing New York City. The meeting culture is shaped by the daily commuter rhythm, with early-morning and after-work calendars that fit the PATH, NJ Transit, and bus schedules. Hoboken, Jersey City, Newark, Montclair, and Morristown each anchor neighborhood meeting clusters. Spanish-language meetings are widespread, particularly in Paterson, Passaic, Union City, and Elizabeth.
Central Jersey: the Princeton-Trenton corridor and the Shore
Central Jersey Intergroup, Mercer County, and Middlesex County service offices serve the I-95 corridor from Trenton through Princeton up to New Brunswick and Edison. The meeting calendar includes professional commuter groups, university-town meetings near Rutgers and Princeton, and a growing suburban presence. The Jersey Shore (Monmouth and Ocean counties) has a distinct year-round meeting culture in Asbury Park, Red Bank, Long Branch, Toms River, and the bay communities, with a noticeable summer attendance surge.
South Jersey and the Philly suburbs
South Jersey Intergroup covers Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester counties (the Philadelphia commuter belt), plus the South Jersey shore (Atlantic City, Cape May, Wildwood). Cherry Hill, Voorhees, and Marlton anchor suburban meeting calendars. Atlantic City has 24-hour meetings serving the casino-industry workforce. Vineland, Bridgeton, and Millville cover the agricultural Cumberland County communities. The Pine Barrens meetings tend to be smaller, but the directory tags hybrid format options for the days they don't meet.
Getting to a meeting in New Jersey
NJ Transit rail, bus, and light rail (HBLR, Newark Light Rail, RiverLine) cover most of the state's denser corridors. PATH connects North Jersey to Manhattan; PATCO connects South Jersey to Philadelphia. Amtrak Northeast Corridor service stops at Newark, Metropark, Trenton, and several other New Jersey stations. For meetings off the rail network, driving is the standard option.

Planning Your Journey to AA Meetings
When traveling to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in New Jersey, call ahead to confirm meeting times, verify the address, and get directions. Many AA groups warmly welcome newcomers, first-timers, and out-of-town visitors. If lack of transportation is preventing you from attending meetings, reach out to local AA groups via the AA hotline—many members volunteer to give free rides to people in early recovery, or can connect you with Zoom meetings and online AA meetings.
