12 Steps & 12 Traditions: The AA 12 Step and Traditions programs in Arkansas provide essential support for those on their journey to recovery. AA meetings offer a safe space for individuals and their loved ones to find strength and hope together.

Big Book: The Big Book may be a center of discussion in Arkansas AA meetings. The Big Book features dozens of inspirational stories about men and women who overcame alcohol use disorder.

Discussion: In Arkansas, AA discussion meetings begin with one member sharing about a particular topic related to alcohol addiction recovery. This topic will normally come from an AA-related text, such as Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions or the Big Book. After their initial reflections, other members can participate by sharing their own experiences and thoughts on the subject.

Open: In Arkansas, open AA meetings are available to individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction and nonalcoholics who want to learn more about how the program operates. This may include friends and loved ones of current members or anyone from the community seeking more information on the 12 step model of recovery.
