Types of AA Meetings
Gay: Gay AA chapters can consist of members who are homosexual men or are simply gay-friendly. Topics in discussion are frequently related to issues facing gay men and their recovery.
LGBTQ: Selected AA chapters focus on providing a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community, and generally welcome LGBTQ+ allies. These groups prioritize members’ recovery and sobriety within a non-heteronormative context.
Lesbian: Lesbian AA meetings are intended as safe spaces for homosexual women and their allies to meet. Discussions generally focus on issues and challenges that lesbians face in their recovery.
Newcomer: In Louisiana, AA newcomer meetings give seasoned members a chance to share more about the 12 step structure with individuals who aren’t as familiar with the program. These meetings usually include an overview of the first three steps in the recovery model.
Open: Open AA meetings in Louisiana are available to anyone who wants to learn more about the program and how its recovery model works. Participants can include individuals seeking treatment for alcohol addiction as well as nonalcoholics interested in the 12 step program.
Speaker: In Louisiana, AA members might be scheduled to listen to motivational speakers. Speakers are usually AA alumni and use a mixture of humor, charm, raw emotions, and faith to encourage participants to harden their resolve against relapse.
Transgender: Transgender AA meetings provide safe spaces for transgender individuals and their allies to meet. These groups may discuss issues and challenges related to alcohol use disorder that transgender individuals face.
