What members read between meetings
A.A.'s own literature does most of the heavy lifting between meetings in North Dakota. 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
Living 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 Amazon
Daily 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 Amazon
As 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.

Fargo, Bismarck, and the I-94 corridor
Fargo Area Intergroup serves Cass County and the surrounding Red River Valley communities, with meetings that coordinate across the Minnesota border to Moorhead. Bismarck, the state capital, has weekday meetings serving state-government workers and reliable evening calendars. The I-94 corridor between the two cities supports a steady weekly schedule. Jamestown and Valley City anchor smaller meeting clusters along the corridor.
Grand Forks, Minot, and the North
Grand Forks has a meeting cluster near the University of North Dakota and coordinates with East Grand Forks (Minnesota) across the river. Minot serves the North Central part of the state, including the meeting calendar shaped by the Minot Air Force Base. Devils Lake, Williston, and the Bakken-region communities maintain meeting networks adapted to the oil-and-gas workforce.
Getting to a meeting in North Dakota
MAT-Bus serves Fargo. Bis-Man Transit serves Bismarck. Amtrak's Empire Builder runs through the state, stopping at Fargo, Grand Forks, Devils Lake, Minot, and Williston. Outside the cities, driving is the standard option.
