Women In Sobriety

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In New Mexico, closed AA meetings are only accessible to current AA members and people who recognize they have a drinking problem and want to find help. This gives newcomers a chance to ask questions and learn more about the program as more experienced members share their reflections and advice.

Discussion: In New Mexico, AA discussion meetings are conversational in nature. Leaders will choose a central theme to discuss, often pulling inspiration from an AA text, such as As Bill Sees It. They’ll share their personal insights first, then allow others to do the same.

Women: New Mexico women’s AA meetings are support group meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction. Open for all women to attend at no cost, including women who are addicted to alcohol and those who have loved ones with alcoholism, these meetings offer peer support within a 12-step program.
