Welcome to Alcoholics Anonymous Area 21 District 19.
If you or someone you care about is struggling with alcohol consumption, seeking help is vital. Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) provides a recovery program designed for those having difficulty staying sober despite their efforts. Our approach is based on community support, shared experiences, and proven strategies.
To learn more, visit aa.org for additional support.
We hold AA meetings in Springfield, Chatham, Virden, New Berlin, Petersburg, and Lincoln, providing a welcoming environment for individuals to connect with others on their recovery journey.

We’d love to have you join us at District 19 in making a difference! If you’re interested, there are numerous exciting service opportunities available. Some of them are listed below. Don’t hesitate to reach out—drop us an email at info@aaspringfield.org. Let’s work together to carry the AA message!
PUBLIC INFORMATION COMMITTEE
We are updating our hotline call sheet for Alcoholics Anonymous members who are willing to receive calls from individuals seeking to talk to a person who has successfully overcome alcoholism. Once we have the updated list, we plan to hold a sharing session where members can share their experiences.
CORRECTIONS COMMITTEE
We hold meetings at Sangamon County Jail, as well as at local prisons in Jacksonville and Lincoln. We need both men and women to attend. (Approval process required)
TREATMENT COMMITTEE
We’re excited to announce that we are committed to hosting AA meetings at both Gateway and The Family Guidance Center in Springfield. Join us in creating a supportive community!
COOPERATION WITH THE PROFESSIONAL COMMITTEE (CPC)
We have received requests to host AA meetings at a local homeless shelter and several mental health facilities; however, additional volunteers are needed before we can proceed.
I am responsible; when anyone, anywhere reaches out for help, I want the hand of A.A. always to be there. And for that, I am responsible
