Together we recover.

The Deal AA Men’s Group meets twice a week and with one purpose: to provide a space for alcoholics to learn not just how to stop drinking, but how to stay stopped. 

The meeting is attended week in and week out by members with decades of experience in working with alcoholics in need. We, after all, were all once alcoholics in need ourselves.

It is our pleasure, privilege, and obligation to give freely only that which was given freely to us: a simple twelve step program, and the encouragement and guidance to best carry it out.

Doing the work

Listen to our experience

We at the Deal Men’s Group are sons, brothers, husbands, and fathers from all walks of life. We record and share our experience, strength, and hope so that others might, in identifying with a common problem, share in a solution that promises recovery.

Newcomer resources

We have produced three simple and succinct booklets for alcoholics to use in conjunction with our primary text, Alcoholics Anonymous (‘the big book’.)
These booklets are a wonderful way for you and your sponsor to track your progress through the 12 step process.

Get your Big Book

‘Alcoholics Anonymous’ (the ‘Big Book’) is our basic text. It contains the 12 step program, copious amounts of information about what it means to be an alcoholic, and a litany of personal accounts written by alcoholics who have recovered from an otherwise hopeless state.

Frequently asked questions

Experience, strength and hope.

We share our experience, strength, and hope for three vital reasons:

  1. To give others the opportunity to identify as alcoholics
  2. To describe our own experience of twelve step recovery
  3. To demonstrate and reflect upon the changes we’ve experienced


The Deal Men’s group runs a weekly study of The Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book. Two members take us through the program step-by-step, and recordings of these book studies are available here.
