About Alcoholics Anonymous – Richmond Intergroup

The Richmond Intergroup of Alcoholics Anonymous serves the greater Richmond metropolitan area, coordinating hundreds of weekly AA meetings for individuals seeking recovery from alcohol addiction. AA is a worldwide fellowship where members share their experience, strength, and hope to help each other achieve and maintain sobriety through the twelve-step program. The Richmond Intergroup maintains meeting schedules, provides literature, and operates a 24-hour helpline.

What Groups Are Offered?

The Richmond area hosts hundreds of AA meetings each week in 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 run throughout the day from early morning through late evening, seven days a week.

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

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 warmly and there is no obligation to speak. Many meetings include fellowship time before and after the formal session.

Cost & Confidentiality

AA meetings are free. A voluntary collection helps cover expenses, 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.
