What members read between meetings

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

Cover of Alcoholics Anonymous (the Big Book)

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
Cover of Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions

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
Cover of Living Sober

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
Cover of Daily Reflections

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
Cover of As Bill Sees It

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 New Mexico

Albuquerque and the Middle Rio Grande

Albuquerque Central Office coordinates meetings across Bernalillo, Sandoval, and Valencia counties. The city's meeting list includes a strong Spanish-language presence in the South Valley and the West Mesa neighborhoods, plus university-area meetings near UNM. Rio Rancho, Bernalillo, and Los Lunas anchor suburban meetings. Many of the city's historic groups have been running continuously for decades and serve as the entry point for newcomers across the metro.

Santa Fe, Northern New Mexico, and Taos

Santa Fe Intergroup serves the capital region with meetings concentrated in the Railyard, the Eastside, and the south Santa Fe neighborhoods. The Northern New Mexico counties (Rio Arriba, Taos, Mora, San Miguel) maintain smaller but tightly connected meeting networks. Taos has a notable recovery community given its size. Several pueblos in Northern New Mexico also host AA meetings directly.

Las Cruces, the Borderland, and the Eastern Plains

Las Cruces serves the southern part of the state and the Borderland, with meeting attendance that overlaps with the El Paso fellowship across the Texas state line. Spanish-language meetings are widespread. The Eastern Plains (Clovis, Portales, Roswell, Carlsbad, Hobbs) have their own meeting networks shaped by the oil-field and agricultural workforce. Farmington and the Four Corners anchor the meeting calendar in the northwest.

Getting to a meeting in New Mexico

ABQ Ride covers Albuquerque with bus service plus the Rail Runner Express commuter rail to Santa Fe. Santa Fe Trails serves the capital. Outside the metros, driving is the standard option. The directory shows each meeting's exact address with one-tap navigation links.
