Complimentary Beginner Packets

Beginner packets are available free of charge to Rainbow Room members in the U.S. who are counting days

Beginner packets contain a printed copy of Living Sober, a helpful AA resource for staying sober one day at a time, as well as a Beginner’s Pamphlet. While we normally hand these out in person when meeting in the rooms, we also send copies by U.S. mail. To request a Beginner Packet, please click on the email link below:

On most devices, this link opens* an email addressed to NY Intergroup, our provider of literature. The message pre-populates a subject line referencing a Rainbow Room Beginner Packet and suggests language for requesting literature in the body of the email.

Please add your name and home mailing address in the body of the email (you may use your last initial rather than your full last name if you wish) and the packet will be mailed to you (materials are not available electronically). Beginner packets arrive in a discreet envelope with no mention of AA.

* If the link doesn’t open your device’s mail application, please paste a copy of the link above in a new email and include the following information in the body of the message:

  • First name and last initial

  • Full U.S. postal service mailing address

  • Reference to the Rainbow Room
