Lit Young People’s Big Book

Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: Rhode Island residents in AA programs often use the Big Book as a source for inspiration. This anthology contains stories about real women and men who successfully managed their alcohol use disorder.

Open: In Rhode Island, open AA meetings allow both members and observers to attend. This includes individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction as well as anyone who wants to understand more about AA and its recovery program. Members can share their stories while observers are free to listen and learn.

Wheelchair Access: Rhode Island’s AA centers may have wheelchair access for non-ambulatory clients. Exterior features include ramps and designated parking, while the facility may have an open layout for meeting halls, restrooms, and amenities.

Young People: AA meetings for young people are intended for members in early adulthood, usually in their late teens and twenties. These groups focus on the experiences and issues that young people may face in their recovery.
