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

Living Sober
EnglishA short, practical book about the day-to-day of staying sober. Often the one a sponsor suggests in the first month.

Daily Reflections

Providence and the metro area
Rhode Island Central Service Office serves the state, with the densest meeting calendar in and around Providence. Downtown Providence, the East Side (Brown University area), Federal Hill, and the West End each have established neighborhood meeting clusters. Cranston, Warwick, and East Providence add suburban-style calendars. Spanish-language and Portuguese-language meetings are present given the state's demographics.
Newport, South County, and the coast
Newport has a year-round meeting calendar that expands during summer tourist season. Middletown, Portsmouth, and Jamestown round out Aquidneck Island. South County (Narragansett, North and South Kingstown, Westerly) maintains steady weekly schedules including some meetings shaped by the URI student population.
Blackstone Valley and Northern RI
Pawtucket, Central Falls, Woonsocket, and the Blackstone Valley communities maintain meeting networks shaped by the region's mill-town history. Northern RI extends into Burrillville and the surrounding rural communities.
Getting to a meeting in Rhode Island
