Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Nevada, closed AA meetings are only available to members and people who recognize they have a problem with excessive drinking and want to find help. The discussions are informal and everyone is encouraged to ask questions, share their experiences, and offer their insights.

Cross Talk Permitted: Cross talk refers to speech in AA meetings that are directed toward a specific member, rather than the group, and is generally critical. Crosstalk is generally not permitted in AA because it is considered disruptive and can undermine the unity of the group. However, some AA chapters allow cross talk in discussions.
