Find AA Meetings in Pompano Beach, Florida

Pompano Beach, Florida AA Meetings

Pompano Beach has more than 25 in-person AA groups meeting at more than 15 locations, plus a few that meet online. What matters more than the group count is how often they meet: Those groups hold over 85 meetings a week between them, so most meet several times a week rather than once.

This means you’re rarely more than a day away from a meeting, and a few local venues run sessions most days. The list above shows current days, times, and formats.

Roughly half the in-person groups here are listed as wheelchair accessible. Meetings split more evenly between open and closed than in many cities. Open meetings welcome anyone, including family and people who are curious, while closed meetings are for people who want to stop drinking. Each listing says which it is, so check before you go.

You can also browse AA meetings across Florida if you are looking beyond the city.

Here is a snapshot of meeting types in our Pompano Beach directory, counting both in-person and online groups (as of July 2026):

• Wheelchair-accessible: 15
• Beginner-focused: 6
• Men’s: 4
• Women’s: 4

Counts change as schedules update, so treat this list as an average sampling and the list above as the current source.

Your First AA Meeting in Pompano Beach

You do not need to register, pay, or call yourself an alcoholic to attend an AA meeting in Pompano Beach. Arrive a few minutes early, find a seat, and listen. Nobody will ask you to speak.

Half a dozen local groups are aimed specifically at newcomers, which is a reasonable number for a city this size. These meetings offer a gentler place to begin. But if none of the newcomer meetings fit your schedule, an open meeting works just as well for a first visit.

Pompano Beach also sits inside a much larger Broward County network, so a 15- or 20-minute drive widens the options considerably.

Our account of what happens at a first AA meeting walks through a typical hour, and our plain-language guide to the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions covers the ideas the program is built on.

Pompano Beach’s AA Intergroup

Local AA here is coordinated by Broward County Intergroup, which serves every AA group in the county from an office in Fort Lauderdale. It acts as a clearinghouse, not a governing body. It keeps the countywide meeting directory, sells conference-approved AA literature including the Big Book, and answers calls and email from people who want to talk before walking into a meeting.

It covers hundreds of groups across Broward, including meetings in languages other than English and groups for men, women, young people, and the LGBTQ community. Its address and phone number are under Resources below.

Sober.com is an independent directory and is not affiliated with Alcoholics Anonymous World Services or Broward County Intergroup.

Staying on Track Between Meetings

Many people pair meetings with the free Sober App. It tracks your sober days, what you have saved by not drinking, and milestones worth marking, which can help on the days between meetings.

If You Need More Help Than a Meeting

AA is peer support, not medical care. If you have been drinking heavily every day, stopping abruptly can be dangerous, and it is worth getting a medical opinion before you quit. Our guides to the alcohol withdrawal timeline and alcohol detox explain what withdrawal involves and when supervised care makes sense.

Broward County runs its own treatment service, the Broward Addiction Recovery Center, for residents over 18 dealing with substance use or co-occurring conditions. It offers detox around the clock, plus residential treatment, outpatient care, and medication-assisted treatment, so it is a genuine option if you need supervised withdrawal rather than a waitlist.

Broward also runs a 24-hour helpline covering substance use and mental health. Both are under Resources below, with FindTreatment.gov and the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. For a broader look at what treatment involves and what it costs, see our guide to alcohol rehab in Florida.

AA in Pompano Beach: Common Questions

How much do AA meetings in Pompano Beach cost?

Nothing. AA groups are self-supporting through voluntary contributions, so a basket may be passed at some point in the hour, but no one is expected to put anything in, least of all someone attending for the first time.

Do I have to call myself an alcoholic to attend?

No. AA states that the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking, and you don’t even need that to visit an open meeting. Plenty of people attend for a while as they work out what their drinking means to them.

What is the difference between open and closed meetings in Pompano Beach?

Open meetings welcome anyone, including friends and family. Closed meetings are limited to people who want to stop drinking. Pompano Beach is split fairly evenly between the two types of groups. Check the listing first if you want to bring someone.

Can I find a meeting on short notice here?

Usually. Local groups hold a total of more than 85 meetings a week, and several venues run sessions most days, so there is often something within hours rather than days. You can filter the list above by day and time.

Can I join an AA meeting online from Pompano Beach?

Yes, though the local online roster is small. A few online AA groups appear in our Pompano Beach listings, and online meetings hosted elsewhere are open to anyone, which helps when you cannot get somewhere in person.
