Walking into a first meeting is easier when you know the room will feel like home. The NJ Lavender List gathers Alcoholics Anonymous meetings across New Jersey that welcome LGBTQ+ members and puts them in one searchable map and list, so you can find a meeting by town, day, or time.
What "Lavender List" means
In our AA community, a Lavender List is a directory of LGBTQ+ meetings. This site carries on that tradition in a form you can use from your phone.
Where the meetings come from
The listings are pulled together from the LGBTQ+ meeting lists of four New Jersey intergroups:
- Northern New Jersey
- Central Jersey
- South Jersey (AASJ)
- Cape Atlantic
Each intergroup keeps its own official records, and the buttons on the home page link straight to their lists. We refresh this site roughly once a month. Meetings move, pause, and change formats, so please confirm with the intergroup or the meeting itself before you go, especially for a first visit. Check each listing to see whether a meeting is open or closed.
Who this is for
The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking. Whether you are newly sober, coming back, moving to New Jersey, or looking for a group that fits your life, you belong in the rooms listed here.
An independent resource
The NJ Lavender List is maintained by an AA member as a service to the fellowship. It is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official publication of Alcoholics Anonymous World Services or any intergroup, district, or area. Personal anonymity is protected here, and no member’s full name appears on this site.
