What members read between meetings

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

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

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

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

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 Pennsylvania

Philadelphia and Southeastern Pennsylvania

Southeastern Pennsylvania Intergroup Association (SEPIA) coordinates meetings across Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties. Center City has a dense weekday calendar serving office workers, the universities, and the hospital district. South Philly, Fishtown, Northern Liberties, and Kensington each have neighborhood groups with their own established culture. The Main Line (Ardmore, Bryn Mawr, Wayne, Paoli) and the Bucks County suburbs have suburban-style commuter meetings. Spanish-language meetings cluster in North Philadelphia and parts of South Philly.

Pittsburgh and Southwestern Pennsylvania

Pittsburgh Area Intergroup serves Allegheny County and the surrounding Southwestern PA counties (Washington, Beaver, Westmoreland, Butler, Armstrong). The city's meeting culture reflects its neighborhood structure: Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, Lawrenceville, the South Side, and the North Side each have their own established groups. Oakland anchors a young-people's presence near Pitt and Carnegie Mellon. The Mon Valley, Beaver Valley, and the former steel towns have decades-old groups that reflect the region's working-class history.

Lehigh Valley, Central PA, and Northeast PA

Lehigh Valley Intergroup covers Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, and the surrounding Northampton, Lehigh, and Carbon counties. Lancaster Area Intergroup serves Lancaster City and the Amish/Mennonite countryside. Harrisburg-Carlisle Intergroup covers the state-government corridor and York. NEPA Intergroup (Northeast Pennsylvania) serves Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton, and the Pocono communities.

Erie, the Northern Tier, and the rural counties

Erie Area Intergroup covers Erie County and the northwestern PA communities along Lake Erie and the Ohio border. The Northern Tier counties (Tioga, Bradford, Susquehanna, Wayne) and the Wilds region (Potter, McKean, Cameron) have smaller but well-coordinated meeting networks, often with hybrid format to keep attendance possible across the sparsely populated geography. State College anchors meetings near Penn State and the I-99 corridor.
