Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Michigan are not open to members of the general community. The only individuals who may attend are AA members and individuals who want to find help for alcohol addiction. This creates a welcoming space for members to share their recovery journey with others who have been through a similar experience.

Step Meeting: Michigan AA centers use step meetings as central to their programs. In these meetings, groups read from Twelve Steps, compare their experiences to the text, and strategize for future meetings on how to improve their recovery.

Tradition Study: Tradition Study sessions are AA reflections about the organization. Members discuss how AA chapters can be more successful in their purpose through greater unity and its outreach programs.
