About Alcoholics Anonymous – Central Office of Salt Lake

The Central Office of Salt Lake serves as the coordination hub for Alcoholics Anonymous meetings throughout the Salt Lake City metropolitan area and the Wasatch Front. AA is a worldwide fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope to help each other achieve and maintain sobriety. The Salt Lake Central Office maintains meeting schedules, provides literature, and operates a helpline to connect individuals seeking recovery support.

What Groups Are Offered?

The Salt Lake area hosts hundreds of AA meetings each week in a wide variety of formats including open discussion, closed discussion, Big Book study, Twelve Step study, speaker meetings, and newcomer meetings. Specialized meetings are available for women, men, young people, and Spanish speakers. Meetings take place throughout the day from early morning through late evening, seven days a week.

Who Can Join?

The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no age, background, or other eligibility requirements. Open meetings welcome anyone interested in learning about AA, while closed meetings are reserved for those who identify as having a desire to stop drinking.

Meeting Schedule & Location

Meetings are held daily at dozens of locations across the Salt Lake Valley, including churches, community centers, hospitals, and dedicated AA clubhouses. A comprehensive meeting directory with times, addresses, and formats is available on the Salt Lake AA website or by calling the Central Office.

What to Expect

AA meetings are welcoming, peer-led gatherings where members share their experiences with alcoholism and recovery. Meetings typically last one hour. First-time attendees are welcomed and there is no obligation to speak. Many meetings begin with a moment of silence and the Serenity Prayer, followed by readings and sharing. Coffee and fellowship are common before and after meetings.

Cost & Confidentiality

AA meetings are free of charge. A voluntary collection is passed to cover expenses such as rent, coffee, and literature, but there is never any obligation to contribute. Anonymity is the foundation of the AA program—members use first names only and what is shared in meetings is strictly confidential.
