Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: AA centers in Minnesota often inspire clients by using the Big Book. The anthology features dozens of stories about men and women who overcame alcoholism.

Closed: In Minnesota, closed AA meetings are restricted to members and people who recognize they have a drinking problem and want to stop. Newcomers can ask questions to more experienced members, gaining insight and advice as they begin their recovery journey.

Discussion: In Minnesota, AA discussion meetings offer the opportunity for all members to share their thoughts and feelings on a specific subject. Leaders usually derive inspiration for the discussion from an AA text, such as the Big Book. They’ll open with their own reflections, and then encourage others to discuss.

Literature: Minnesota literature-based AA meetings are community support meetings for men and women who are impacted by alcohol addiction. These peer support meetings study and reflect on the Big Book of AA and other AA literature while offering a 12-step addiction recovery program.

Wheelchair Access: AA meetings in Minnesota may feature amenities for non-ambulatory clients. Wheelchair access can include ramps, designated parking spaces, and full maneuverability within the center.
