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

Cleveland, Akron, and Northeast Ohio: where AA started
Cleveland District Office and Akron Intergroup serve Northeast Ohio. Akron carries particular historical weight as the city where Bill W. and Dr. Bob met in 1935, and several Akron-area groups have been running continuously since the 1930s. Dr. Bob's Home (Henrietta Street) operates as a museum and is a destination for visiting AA members. Cleveland's meeting calendar is substantial, with downtown, Ohio City, Tremont, and the East Side neighborhoods each anchoring established groups. Lakewood, Parma, and the inner suburbs round out the metro.
Columbus and Central Ohio
Central Ohio Group (COG) serves Columbus and the surrounding Franklin and Delaware county communities. The Ohio State University anchors a substantial young-people's meeting presence. Downtown, the Short North, German Village, and Clintonville each have established neighborhood meeting clusters. The suburban communities (Dublin, Westerville, Hilliard, Worthington) have growing evening calendars.
Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio
Cincinnati Area Intergroup serves Hamilton County and the surrounding Southwest Ohio communities, including Northern Kentucky on the other side of the river. The Over-the-Rhine, Mount Auburn, and Hyde Park neighborhoods have established meeting calendars. Dayton anchors its own meeting network across the I-75 corridor. Hamilton, Middletown, and the Butler County communities round out the region.
Toledo, the I-80/90 corridor, and rural Ohio
Toledo serves Northwest Ohio. Youngstown and Warren anchor the Mahoning Valley. Mansfield and Marion serve North Central Ohio. The Athens area (Ohio University) has a meeting cluster shaped by the student population. Rural Ohio counties maintain meeting networks supplemented by hybrid options.
Getting to a meeting in Ohio
RTA serves Cleveland (with HealthLine BRT plus rapid transit). COTA serves Columbus. SORTA serves Cincinnati. TARTA serves Toledo. Amtrak's Capitol Limited and Lake Shore Limited run through the state. Outside the metros, driving is the standard option.

Open Meetings
Open to the public. Family members, friends, and anyone curious about A.A. are welcome to attend. No membership or personal connection to alcohol problems is required.

Planning Your Journey to AA Meetings
When traveling to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in Ohio, 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.
