Big Book

The group reads from and discusses the book Alcoholics Anonymous (the "Big Book").

Newcomer

Designed for people in their first days or weeks. The format usually covers the basics of the program and how meetings work.

Discussion

A chair introduces a topic and members take turns sharing. This is the most common meeting format.

Speaker

One or more members share their story at length. Speaker meetings are a good fit if you would rather listen than talk.

Women

Attendance is limited to women. Many groups welcome anyone who identifies as a woman; check with the group if you are unsure.

Notes from the Group

We started this group to be of service to anyone who identifies as a woman (queer, trans or cis). We select a reading each week from our Life with Hope text, and proceed to share on the reading. We set aside 15 minutes of quiet time for individual step-work, reading, and reflection, followed by a final sharing session. Last Wednesday of the month is a speaker meeting with the second half still dedicated to individual step-work and reflection. We celebrate all lengths of sobriety and everywhere in between with virtual chips. We also mail physical chips to those who'd like one for free.
