Thursday Night Women’s

Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Massachusetts' AA programs offer peer-led guidance through the 12 Steps and traditions, providing a lifeline of support for those seeking sobriety. AA meetings in the state provide a welcoming environment for individuals and their loved ones, setting the stage for continued personal growth, education, and sobriety.

Babysitting Available: AA centers might have pre-existing available babysitting services, which they make available for members during meetings. Services vary in terms of cost, ages of children accepted, and amenities for babysitters, members, and children.

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Massachusetts are limited to members and individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction. Members of the general public cannot attend and observe. Discussions are geared toward topics that would best resonate with current alcoholics and individuals in recovery.

Speaker: Massachusetts AA centers reinforce sobriety through motivational speakers. Speakers can inspire audiences by using humor, charm, raw emotions, and faith.

Women: Women’s AA meetings in Massachusetts are community support meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction, including women with alcoholism and those who have loved ones who are addicted to alcohol. These meetings, which use a 12-step recovery program, are free for women of all ages.
