Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Ohio, closed AA meetings are open to members only, including anyone seeking help for an alcohol addiction. The discussions center on topics related to alcoholism and recovery and all participants are invited to contribute.

Discussion: In Ohio, AA discussion meetings center around one specific aspect of alcohol addiction and recovery. Leaders begin by sharing their own thoughts and experiences related to the topic, which often comes from an AA text, such as the Big Book. Then, others can join in and add their own reflections.

Wheelchair Access: Wheelchair access in Ohio AA centers enable non-ambulatory clients to fully participate in group meetings. Features include exterior ramps, designated parking, and open floor plans for safe navigation.

Women: Ohio women’s AA meetings are group support meetings for women who are impacted by alcohol addiction. Open to all women in the community, including women with alcoholism and those who have loved ones with alcohol addiction, these meetings are free to attend and offer community support alongside a 12-step recovery curriculum.
