WGAT Virtual Newcomer Info
Welcome! We are glad you decided to join us. Below is a list of resources, including information about meetings, the Big Book, and additional Alcoholics Anonymous resources.
We are always here to help you. Feel free to Contact Us and request a Phone List or any questions. We would love to see you at our next Newcomer Meeting!
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 the personal stories of recovered alcoholics from all walks of life. You can order a copy of the Big Book 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.
Additional AA Resources
You may have questions as you step into AA. You may find some of the pamphlets below very helpful in answering them. These and many other pamphlets are available at AA.org and other AA literature.
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 throughout the United States 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 Apple App Store.
