Lambda Live & Let Live

The Austin Galano Club is open for in-person meetings. Lambda provides both regularly scheduled in-person meetings as well as maintains its zoom meetings. See the meeting schedules below.

The Austin-Travis County health leaders have now downgraded the COVID-19 risk level to low. We invite those who are fully vaccinated the option to remove their face masks while visiting the Austin Galano Club. Well-fitting face masks are still strongly encouraged, especially for those who are at risk or not fully vaccinated.

Our Group

Since 1976, the primary purpose of the fellowship of the Lambda Live & Let Live group has been to stay sober and help other alcoholics stay sober. We describe our group as LGBTQ+ affirming because a large portion of our membership comes from the LGBT community. However, all are welcome, and the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other, so that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership. We are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

Chips will be mailed to you by David M. Get his info from the moderator during the meeting if you’re celebrating a length of sobriety.
The name you submit upon logging into the room will be visible to everyone, so please do not use your full name if you wish to remain anonymous.
Zoom supports video and audio. You will need to grant access permission for both camera and microphone to be seen and heard. Please mute your microphone when you enter the room until you are called upon to speak. Remember to mute again after you finish sharing.
To share, click the “raise hand” button under reactions, and the moderator will call on you. Once you have been called, please click the button again to lower your hand.
Remember that in our fellowship, anonymity is the spiritual principle of all our affairs. During zoom meetings, protect our anonymity by refraining from screenshots and recordings, and ensure you’re in a secure environment where people can share without being heard outside the meeting. If you need proof of attendance, speak with the chairperson at the end of the meeting.
Zoom also supports text chat, which will be used during certain parts of the meeting to avoid confusion. Like in-person meetings, we ask participants to refrain from crosstalk during the meeting.
We need volunteers to read “How it Works,” “The 12 Traditions” and “The 9th Step Promises” during each meeting. These will be shared as documents in the room, but can also be found in this online Big Book.
Want to chair an online meeting? Please choose a day of the week for the month here.

A motion was made at Group Conscience to lessen the distraction of dogs during meetings, specifically: If you need to have a dog with you for emotional, physical or psychiatric support, the dog must be on a leash, quiet at all times unless performing specific, trained task work, and never infringe on another’s personal space.
Several chair positions with Group Conscience remain vacant. If you’re interested in being of service and for more information contact Mike H at service@lambdaaustin.org to join the steering committee.
The 75th Texas State AA Convention will be held right here in Austin from June 17-19. To volunteer and help make it a Texas size event, visit txaaconvention.org or contact Solis R. at 512-666-7825 for more information.
