Men’s Stag in All Our Affairs

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In New Mexico, closed AA meetings are only accessible to current AA members and people who recognize they have a drinking problem and want to find help. This gives newcomers a chance to ask questions and learn more about the program as more experienced members share their reflections and advice.

Discussion: In New Mexico, AA discussion meetings are conversational in nature. Leaders will choose a central theme to discuss, often pulling inspiration from an AA text, such as As Bill Sees It. They’ll share their personal insights first, then allow others to do the same.

Men: New Mexico men impacted by alcohol use disorder can join a free AA program reserved only for men. In meetings, men of all ages participate in 12 Step Programs designed specifically to address their health and recovery.

Wheelchair Access: New Mexico AA centers generally have wheelchair access for non-ambulatory clients. Features typically include exterior ramps, designated parking, and navigable layouts for meeting halls, restrooms, and amenities.

Wheelchair-Accessible Bathroom: Selected AA centers offer wheelchair-accessible bathrooms for participants. These bathrooms have enough space for a wheelchair to safely navigate, and can include private stalls with guardrails, reachable toilet paper and seat cover dispensers, a wash basin, and other amenities.
