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

Northern Virginia: federal commuter recovery
Northern Virginia Intergroup coordinates meetings across Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties. The meeting culture here is shaped by the federal commuter rhythm: dense early-morning and after-work calendars, lots of Metro-accessible options, and a constantly rotating population of military families, federal employees, and government contractors. Old Town Alexandria and Clarendon have decades-old neighborhood groups; Tysons, Reston, and Herndon anchor suburban meetings; and Loudoun's exurban growth has pushed new meeting calendars into Leesburg and Ashburn.
Richmond and the capital region
Richmond Area Intergroup serves the City of Richmond plus Henrico, Chesterfield, and the surrounding counties. The Fan District, Carytown, and Church Hill have established neighborhood groups; the Short Pump and Midlothian suburbs have a growing evening meeting calendar. VCU and the medical center anchor a young-people's meeting presence downtown. The Tri-Cities (Petersburg, Hopewell, Colonial Heights) extend the meeting list south along I-95.
Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore
Tidewater Intergroup Council covers Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Hampton, and Newport News. The meeting culture is shaped by the Navy presence at Norfolk and the steady flow of new arrivals, including a strong young-people's calendar near the bases. Virginia Beach has the largest single concentration of meetings; the Oceanfront groups run year-round but visibly fill up in summer. The Peninsula side (Hampton, Newport News, Williamsburg) has its own dense calendar, plus historic groups near William & Mary.
Shenandoah Valley, Charlottesville, and Southwest Virginia
Charlottesville Area Intergroup serves the city, UVA, and the surrounding counties. The Shenandoah Valley meeting calendar follows the I-81 corridor through Winchester, Harrisonburg, Staunton, and Lexington. Southwest Virginia (Roanoke, Blacksburg, Wytheville, Bristol) has its own intergroup structure and a smaller but well-coordinated meeting network reaching into the coalfield counties. Several groups along the Virginia/Tennessee/Kentucky border draw members from all three states.
Getting to a meeting in Virginia
Metrorail and Metrobus cover Northern Virginia; VRE commuter rail runs from Manassas and Fredericksburg into D.C. Hampton Roads Transit serves the southern coast; GRTC Pulse serves Richmond. Amtrak runs the Northeast Regional and Crescent through the state. Outside the metros, driving is the standard option.
Finding AA Meetings in Virginia
Alcoholics Anonymous is active across 252 cities in Virginia, with 1,705 meetings listed in this directory. Meetings run mornings, evenings, and weekends, and formats range from open discussions to step study groups, so most people can find something that fits their schedule and where they are in recovery.
Meeting Types Available in Virginia
AA meetings in Virginia run in several formats, each suited to a different kind of participation. With 1,705 meetings listed, here is what you can expect to find:
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.
Closed Meetings
For people who have a desire to stop drinking. These meetings are private, and what is shared stays within the room.
Speaker Meetings
A member shares their story of "experience, strength, and hope." These meetings can be grounding for newcomers who want to hear how others have navigated recovery.
Step Study Groups
Groups that work through the 12 Steps together. Found in Richmond and across Virginia, these meetings focus on applying A.A. principles in practical terms.
Major Cities with AA Support in Virginia

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