DC-based Stanice Anderson maintains a good collection of links for 12-step programs. Her own site seems a bit in a gray area of 12-step culture, since members of 12-step groups are theoretically not supposed to give their last names or present themselves as experts of any kind. Nonetheless, Ms. Anderson is hardly alone in doing so.
