Literature: Missouri literature-guided AA meetings are community support meetings for people who are affected by alcohol addiction. These group meetings study the Big Book of AA and other AA literature while offering a 12-step addiction recovery program. All are welcome to attend at no cost.

Open: Open AA meetings in Missouri are accessible to anyone in the community. During this time, AA members will share their experiences and recovery journeys with the group, allowing attendees to learn firsthand how the program works, what the 12 step recovery model includes, and how they can support their friend or loved one seeking help for alcohol addiction.

Speaker: Missouri AA programs often feature motivational speakers to reinforce their members’ sobriety. By using humor, raw emotions, charm, and faith, speakers can inspire their listeners to harden their resolve against a relapse.

Step Meeting: Missouri AA centers often involve step meetings, in which groups discuss their experience in various stages of the 12 Step Program. Members can strategize about individual and group interventions to improve their recovery for the next meeting.
