The El Paso intergroup office is at 3318 Douglas Avenue, open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., phone (915) 562-4081.

If drinking is the thing you cannot put down tonight, you can still call a person.
If the night turns medical, call 911 when someone is overdosing, seizing, not breathing, or cannot be woken. If you might hurt yourself, call or text 988. Come back to a meeting when you are safe.
Start here
During the day, call (915) 562-4081 or go to 3318 Douglas Avenue. After hours, use (915) 838-6264, the helpline A.A.'s directory lists for this office, and open aaelpaso.org. The directory also lists Alcoholicos Anonimos Distrito 7 at (915) 351-1141, website aadistrito7.com, and an Oficina at (915) 241-8525 with no website. Use the Oficina number for Spanish-language help if the English office is not the door you need.
A place you can find
The office page does not feature one group name, so the honest instruction is to ask (915) 562-4081 or the helpline for tonight's room and write down the church or club and the time. Then go. A printed guess from an old schedule is how people miss the meeting.
NA in El Paso answers (800) 249-9428 and uses a different list. Do not mix the two fellowships when you are already nervous.
Walking in
You do not register. You do not have to believe anything before you sit down. A chairperson opens the meeting, someone may read from the Big Book or a step, and people talk. If you freeze when they look at you, "I'm just listening" is a complete sentence.
Our meeting finder searches public A.A. listings by day and ZIP. It is one more place to look. The local list is the one to trust when they disagree, and you should still confirm with the group.
Drugs are a different door. The El Paso NA guide has that helpline and those rooms. Stay with the numbers above when the problem is drinking.
If the night is dangerous
Stopping alcohol suddenly after heavy daily drinking can be dangerous. NIAAA says withdrawal can be life-threatening in that situation, and some people need a few days of medical detox. A meeting cannot manage a seizure. Call 911 if someone is seizing, not breathing, or cannot be woken. Call or text 988 in a mental health crisis. If you need a treatment bed, call or text (800) 653-9376. That number is not the A.A. hotline.
If you want a treatment referral, call or text (800) 653-9376. If you want a meeting in El Paso tonight, use the number or the list in the first section. In an emergency, call 911 or 988 first.
