“Into The Light” Women’s BB Study

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In South Carolina, closed AA meetings are only accessible to AA members and anyone seeking help for a drinking problem. They are not open to the general public. The discussions are informal and all participants are invited to share their reflections and experiences.

Literature: South Carolina literature-led AA meetings are support meetings for people who are impacted by alcohol addiction, including those suffering from alcohol addiction and those who have loved ones addicted to alcohol. As part of a 12-step addiction recovery program, these community meetings are free to attend and are based on the Big Book of AA and other literature by AA founders and leaders.

Women: South Carolina women’s AA meetings are peer support meetings for women who are impacted by alcohol addiction - those who are suffering from alcoholism and those who have loved ones who are addicted to alcohol. Welcoming women of all ages in the community, these meetings follow a 12-step recovery program and are free to attend.
