About Area 66

About Alcoholics Anonymous Area 66

The Area service organization is for the 9 service districts of A.A. in Northwest Texas. Northwest Texas Area 66 covers the northwestern part of Texas, covering an estimated 94,000 square miles. Area 66 consists of nine districts, three of which are Spanish-speaking districts, and all serve an estimated 250 active groups within our Area. We hold four full Area assemblies per year in the fall, spring and summer. Our winter assembly is a mini-forum that serves as an orientation for GSRs, DCMs and any members who are new to general service. At the beginning of each two-year rotation, this mini-forum is also used to approve new Area committee chairs for our 12 active committees. These committees do a great job in carrying the message throughout our Area, making the general public aware as to what A.A. is and all we have to offer.

The Area 66 Assembly reports directly to and serves all A.A. groups within Northwest Texas and, the 9 districts, performing the services they require. The Assembly also elects a Delegate to the General Services Conference of Alcoholics Anonymous. As our Preamble says, our primary purpose is to stay sober and to help other alcoholics achieve sobriety. To that end, we offer this web site containing information about Alcoholics Anonymous, area meetings and activities, and ways to contact AA in Northwest Texas Area 66.

I am responsible… when anyone, anywhere reaches out for help, I want the hand of AA always to be there, and for that… I am Responsible.
