How do I find an AA meeting near me in New York?

Use our county directory above to find AA meetings in any of New York's 62 counties. Each county page lists local intergroup hotlines, meeting finders, and resources. You can also download the Meeting Guide app for iOS or Android to find meetings anywhere.

What should I expect at my first AA meeting?

AA meetings are welcoming and confidential. You can just listen—you're not required to speak. Meetings typically last about an hour. Some are 'open' (anyone can attend) and some are 'closed' (for those with a desire to stop drinking only). You'll hear others share their experiences with alcoholism and recovery.

Is AA free to attend?

Yes, AA is completely free. There are no dues or fees for membership. AA is self-supporting through voluntary contributions from members only. You are never required to contribute anything. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.

Are there online AA meetings available?

Yes, Online Intergroup of Alcoholics Anonymous offers thousands of virtual meetings 24/7. This is a great option if you can't attend in person or prefer the convenience of online meetings. Visit aa-intergroup.org for schedules and meeting links.

What if I need professional treatment for alcohol addiction?

AA is a peer support program, not treatment. If you need medical detox or professional addiction treatment, call our 24/7 helpline at 631-762-3763 for free assistance finding treatment programs. Many people combine AA meetings with professional treatment for the best results.
