What members read between meetings

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

Cover of Alcoholics Anonymous (the Big Book)

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
Cover of Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions

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
Cover of Living Sober

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
Cover of Daily Reflections

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
Cover of As Bill Sees It

About AA in West Virginia

Charleston, Huntington, and the Kanawha Valley

Charleston Area Intergroup serves Kanawha County and the surrounding Kanawha Valley communities. The state capital's meeting calendar includes longstanding downtown groups plus established neighborhood meetings. Huntington serves the Tri-State area along with adjacent Kentucky and Ohio communities. The Cabell County meeting list includes a substantial Marshall University young-people's presence.

Morgantown, the Eastern Panhandle, and Northern WV

Morgantown has a meeting cluster near WVU. The Eastern Panhandle (Martinsburg, Charles Town, Berkeley Springs) connects to the Washington-Baltimore metro and has a commuter-influenced meeting calendar. Wheeling serves the Northern Panhandle. The Mid-Ohio Valley (Parkersburg, Marietta across the river) has its own meeting network.

Southern WV and the coalfields

Beckley, Bluefield, Williamson, and the coalfield counties maintain meeting networks shaped by the region's mining history and the broader public-health response to the opioid crisis. Many meetings here run hybrid format so members in remote communities can attend consistently.
