Welcome to Alcoholics Anonymous!

We're glad you're here! This Newcomer Packet contains links to resources that will be helpful to you as you get to know us.

Find Meetings

Meetings are where we find and share the message of recovery through AA's Twelve Steps, where we learn from hearing other people's experience, strength, and hope, and where we begin to form important bonds of fellowship. Meetings are going on in almost every city or town, at any time of day. You can find regularly scheduled meetings in Boulder Colorado through Central Service's Meeting Finder here, and virtual meetings through the Online Intergroup of AA, here. You can also find meetings through Meeting Guide, an app available through Google Play or the Apple App Store.

"The Big Book"

Alcoholics Anonymous, nicknamed "The Big Book," is the basic text of AA. The Big Book outlines the program of recovery through the Twelve Steps and contains personal stories of recovered alcoholics from all walks of life. You can order a copy of the Big Book for $15.00 here, or read it for free online in PDF format here. The Big Book is also available as a free audiobook or as a video in American Sign Language — watch for free on the Watch tab, or order the DVD.
