Types of AA Meetings
Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Rhode Island allow members to focus their conversation around one central theme related to alcohol addiction and recovery. Leaders will normally open the meeting with their own reflections, often referencing a related AA text, such as the Big Book. Then, others can provide inputs as they feel led.
Gay: Gay AA chapters can consist of members who are homosexual men or are simply gay-friendly. Topics in discussion are frequently related to issues facing gay men and their recovery.
Men: Rhode Island AA centers provide free 12 Step Programs for participants recovering from alcohol use disorder. Select groups are reserved only for men, so that men of all ages can discuss issues pertaining to their health.
Open: In Rhode Island, open AA meetings allow both members and observers to attend. This includes individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction as well as anyone who wants to understand more about AA and its recovery program. Members can share their stories while observers are free to listen and learn.
Speaker: Rhode Island AA programs frequently include motivational speakers. These speakers encourage members from relapsing by using humor, reason, charm, faith, and raw emotions to promote sobriety.
Wheelchair Access: Rhode Island’s AA centers may have wheelchair access for non-ambulatory clients. Exterior features include ramps and designated parking, while the facility may have an open layout for meeting halls, restrooms, and amenities.
