If you need a person in Fort Worth tonight, call (817) 332-3533 or (800) 396-1602. The central office says both lines are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by a recovering alcoholic. The office is at 3001 West 5th Street, Suite 200, open weekdays from 9 to 5.
You do not have to decide you are an alcoholic before you sit down.
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.
The phone, then the room
Call either number, or open fortworthaa.org. The office says that if you think you have a problem with alcohol, you can call any time, day or night. Email is only watched during business hours, so do not wait on an email tonight. The meeting list is on the site. A.A.'s directory lists the same phones. It also lists a Spanish-language oficina at (682) 438-8143, with no website. Use that number if you want Spanish.
One meeting you can name
The meetings page points you at the live list rather than one featured club. Call (817) 332-3533 and ask for a meeting in the next hour or two. Write down the group and the address. The office on West 5th is where you get the schedule and the literature. It is not a substitute for the meeting itself.
The office says it serves Tarrant County and a long list of counties around it, when Fort Worth is the closest central office. If you are in Dallas, use the Dallas intergroup instead. The two cities keep separate lists.
You can just listen
Bring a dollar if you have one, and do not worry if you do not. The basket is voluntary. The point of the hour is one person with a drinking problem sitting with others who have been there. You can leave when it ends. You can also stay and ask someone how they got through their first week.
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.
If what you need to say is about drugs, open the Fort Worth NA guide. The rooms named above are A.A.
Doctors, crisis lines, and treatment
If you have been drinking hard every day, talk with a clinician before you quit cold. A meeting is the right room for the loneliness and the obsession. It is the wrong room for a medical emergency. Call 911 for a seizure or trouble breathing, and 988 if you are in crisis. (800) 653-9376 can help you sort a level of care. Tell them you want treatment, not the intergroup.
If you want a treatment referral, call or text (800) 653-9376. If you want a meeting in Fort Worth tonight, use the number or the list in the first section. In an emergency, call 911 or 988 first.

Do I have to pay or speak?
No. You do not register and you do not have to share. If you freeze, say you are just listening. Anonymity means what you hear stays in the room.
What if stopping drinking could make me sick?
If you drink heavily every day, stopping suddenly can be dangerous. NIAAA says withdrawal can be life-threatening in that situation. Call 911 for a seizure or trouble breathing. Call or text 988 in a mental health crisis. A meeting cannot replace a doctor. For treatment, call or text (800) 653-9376.
Is an NA meeting in Fort Worth the same thing?
No. NA has its own helpline and its own rooms. If you need NA, use the Fort Worth NA guide. The numbers above are A.A.
