Located in the Dupont Circle area of Washington DC, the Triangle Club operates with the knowledge that for some people, being gay, lesbian, or transgendered and alcoholic or otherwise addicted is a special challenge preferably shared with others of similar orientation. Our mission is to provide a safe and dependable space where GLBT people may hold their meetings in accordance with the 12 Steps and Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon. We also foster an environment for fellowship, education, spiritual support and social opportunities. The Triangle Club is proud to be of service to the GLBT recovery community in DC since 1990.

Why a club? In the beginning, AA meetings were held in private homes. They were closed meetings, requiring that you have a sponsor bring you to them. As AA grew this became a somewhat awkward and undependable method as hosts of these meetings moved, spun off the program, or simply tired of the imposition of a weekly meeting in their home. Long before the 1955 adoption of the Traditions, the idea of clubs was formulated. This implementation was necessary in order to provide a fixed social setting where regular meetings could be held, and where a newcomer could be provided with safe refuge and support.
