What members read between meetings

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

Alcoholics Anonymous (the Big Book)

English

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

Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions

English

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

Living Sober

English

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

Daily Reflections

English

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

As Bill Sees It

English

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 Wisconsin

Milwaukee and Southeast Wisconsin

Greater Milwaukee Central Office serves Milwaukee County and the surrounding Waukesha, Ozaukee, and Washington counties. The city's meeting calendar includes longstanding historic groups on the East Side, in Bay View, and across the West Side. Spanish-language meetings cluster in the South Side. Kenosha and Racine round out the Southeast Wisconsin meeting network.

Madison and South Central Wisconsin

Madison Area Intergroup serves Dane County and the surrounding South Central Wisconsin communities. The University of Wisconsin anchors a substantial young-people's meeting presence. The downtown isthmus, Near West Side, and East Washington corridor have established meeting calendars. Janesville and Beloit round out the meeting network reaching toward the Illinois border.

Fox Valley, Green Bay, and Northeast Wisconsin

Green Bay Area Intergroup serves Brown County and the surrounding Northeast Wisconsin communities. The Fox Valley (Appleton, Oshkosh, Neenah, Menasha) maintains a dense meeting network shaped by the paper-industry history. Sheboygan, Manitowoc, and the Lakeshore communities round out the region.

Western Wisconsin, the Northwoods, and Duluth-Superior

Western Wisconsin (La Crosse, Eau Claire, Wausau) has its own meeting network. The Northwoods communities (Rhinelander, Minocqua, Ashland, Bayfield) maintain smaller but reliable meeting networks, often with hybrid format. Superior coordinates with the Duluth fellowship across the Minnesota border.
