Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: In Arizona, AA discussion meetings allow one member to share their personal experience, recovery journey, and hope for the future before opening the floor for others to share. They usually begin by referencing a topic from an AA text such as the Big Book, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, AA Grapevine, or others.

Open: Open AA meetings in Arizona are open to anyone who wants to learn more about the program and how the 12 step recovery model operates. This may include individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction as well as their friends and family members. This allows nonalcoholics to understand the basic meeting structure so they can provide support moving forward.

Wheelchair Access: AA meetings in Arizona that have wheelchair accessibility allow clients to safely navigate the facility, which includes ramps and parking spots. Non-ambulatory clients have friendly access to meeting halls, restrooms, and any additional amenities.
