11th Step Meditation Meeting

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Illinois are not open to outside observers. Instead, only AA members or individuals looking for help with a drinking problem are invited to attend. The discussions center around topics related to alcoholism and recovery and are of particular value to newcomers.

Meditation: Meditation AA meetings feature physical and emotional calmness as a main method of healing. The meetings open with 15 minutes of private mediation and close with an additional 5 minutes of meditation.

Wheelchair Access: In Illinois, AA meetings with wheelchair access generally have ramps and designated parking spots. Clients can safely navigate the facility’s layout and amenities to participate in their meetings.
