Types of AA Meetings
12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Ohio's AA program follows the 12-step tradition, providing a pathway to sobriety for those in need. Meetings are open to the public, offer a supportive community for individuals and their loved ones, and promote understanding and healing.
Big Book: The Big Book is used as a discussion topic in Ohio AA programs. Clients can be inspired by the collection of stories about real women and men who overcame alcohol use disorder.
Closed: In Ohio, closed AA meetings are open to members only, including anyone seeking help for an alcohol addiction. The discussions center on topics related to alcoholism and recovery and all participants are invited to contribute.
Discussion: In Ohio, AA discussion meetings center around one specific aspect of alcohol addiction and recovery. Leaders begin by sharing their own thoughts and experiences related to the topic, which often comes from an AA text, such as the Big Book. Then, others can join in and add their own reflections.
Literature: Literature-led AA meetings in Ohio are support group meetings for people who are affected by alcoholism, including those suffering from alcohol addiction and those who have loved ones addicted to alcohol. These meetings are based on the Big Book of AA and other AA literature as part of a 12-step addiction recovery program.
Living Sober: AA centers may have selected sessions set aside for Living Sober discussions. This text is secular in nature, and focuses on practical ways that members have used to stay sober one day at a time.
Open: Open AA meetings in Ohio do not restrict attendance to AA members only. Instead, anyone from the community is welcome to attend and learn more about how AA operates and what the 12 step recovery model includes. This includes alcoholics as well as their friends, relatives, and loved ones.
Speaker: Ohio AA members may invite motivational speakers to help their resolve against relapse. Speakers are usually AA alumni and use a blend of humor, reason, emotions, and faith to encourage sobriety.
