Chelsea Nanok - Start one. Anyone can start an AA/NA/Alanon group. It does not require permission from the larger organization, although registration in the organization has benefits to the group. http://www.aa.org/pages/en_US/starting-a-new-aa-group

I'm told that in the early days of AA in Fairbanks, they ran across many of the same problems as some mentioned in the villages. Small towns and gossips just travel together. Some people stuck it out and there's now a large 12-Step community here. There's still some gossip, but folks in the anonymous community just refuse to listen, so it doesn't go so far.

Don't let fear or stories of how it didn't work in this or that village discourage you. Try it.
