The Austin Galano Club is open for in-person meetings. Lambda Live and Let Live provides regularly scheduled in-person meetings and maintains the Hybrid (Zoom) Saturday speaker meeting. Please refer to the meeting schedule below for more information.
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 LGBTQ+ community. However, all are welcome, and the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength and hope with each other 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.
If you have a dog with you in a meeting for emotional, physical, or psychological support, the dog must be on a leash, quiet unless performing specific trained task work, and not infringe on another’s personal space.
