Welcome to the website of the North Carolina Mountain Central Office of Alcoholics Anonymous. NCMCO has served A.A. groups in North Carolina/Area 51 Districts 70, 71, 80, and the Rutherford County portion of District 15 — which comprise much of the western portion of the state — for over 50 years.
The office is funded and staffed entirely by local members of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Service With Central Office
A Central Office, by A.A. tradition, exists primarily as a service organization and is often the first point of contact for many who believe they may have a drinking problem. If you’re interested in volunteering, check our the service opportunities page or attend one of our bi-monthly General Committee meetings.
Open Board Positions
In January, Central Office will be electing all non-appointed positions (Chair, Alt-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, 12th Step Volunteer Coordinator) at General Committee meeting. For descriptions of positions, see the NCMCO bylaws.
Right now, NCMCO is in need of volunteers to fill two Board positions: 12th Step Call Coordinator and Webmaster. See our Open Board Positions page for the responsibilities and requirements for these positions. If you are interested, please attend the next General Committee meeting, September 10, 2026, at 6:00 pm.
Please don’t hesitate to call (during business hours), text or email the office with any questions.

The AA Grapevine Half-Hour Variety Hour
AA members Don, Olis and Sam interview other AA members about their experience, strength, and hope in recovering from alcoholism. Expect both humor and inspiration as these AA members share their stories.
Allison felt like a late bloomer starting drinking at 14, her friends were already at it. She tells Don and Sam that her first drinks were part of her people pleasing tendencies, but she stayed lonely nonetheless. Later, friends told Allison she needed to get help, and recommended AA. At her first meeting Allison felt welcomed — the group made it a First Step meeting and asked her to come back tomorrow. Bill shares about his love for Grapevine.
While we provide the podcast at no charge, we do have expenses.
