What members read between meetings
A.A.'s own literature does most of the heavy lifting between meetings in North Carolina. 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.

Charlotte and the Piedmont
Charlotte Area Intergroup serves Mecklenburg and the surrounding counties, including the rapidly growing communities of Concord, Gastonia, Rock Hill (across the SC line), and Huntersville. The city's meeting calendar includes a substantial young-professional presence Uptown, established neighborhood groups in Plaza Midwood and South End, and a growing Spanish-language calendar.
Raleigh-Durham, the Research Triangle, and the Triad
Triangle Intergroup serves Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and Cary, with a meeting calendar shaped by both the university communities (NCSU, Duke, UNC) and the rapidly growing tech-corridor population. The Triad (Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point) has its own intergroup structure and a thick weekly schedule reflecting the region's long industrial history.
Asheville, the Mountains, and Western NC
Asheville has a notably active and varied meeting culture for a city its size, with established downtown groups, a substantial young-people's calendar, and several long-running meeting houses. Western North Carolina extends through Hendersonville, Brevard, Boone, Murphy, and the Cherokee Nation. The mountain meeting calendar grows seasonally with both summer tourism and second-home residents.
Wilmington, the Outer Banks, and the coast
Wilmington anchors the coastal meeting calendar serving the Cape Fear region. The Outer Banks (Manteo, Nags Head, Hatteras) maintain year-round meetings that grow substantially during the summer season. Jacksonville and the Crystal Coast communities serve both year-round residents and the Camp Lejeune military-family population.

CATS covers Charlotte with light rail and bus. GoRaleigh, GoDurham, GoTriangle, and the regional transit network serve the Triangle. PART covers the Triad. Amtrak's Carolinian and Piedmont services link Charlotte, Greensboro, and Raleigh. Outside the metros, driving is the standard option.
