Men: Men in New York can participate in AA meetings to recover from alcohol use disorder. Select AA groups are intended for men only and provide 12 Step Programs designed around health and recovery issues for men of all ages at no cost.

Newcomer: In New York, AA newcomer meetings offer an opportunity for people who are new to AA to learn more about the program as they begin their sobriety journey. Experienced members normally lead the meetings, which may include group discussions or follow a more structured lesson format.
