Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in New York are not open to public community members who want to observe the discussion. The only people who can attend are AA members and people seeking help for alcohol addiction. The discussions are informal and everyone can share.

Literature: Literature-guided AA meetings in New York are support group meetings for people who are affected by alcohol addiction, including those suffering from alcoholism and those who have loved ones addicted to alcohol. These 12-step meetings study AA literature such as the Big Book of AA, AA workbooks, and other writings by AA founders and leaders.
