Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Rhode Island are not available to the general public. Participation is limited to AA members and people seeking help for alcohol addiction. Discussions focus on alcoholism and related topics that are best understood by members with similar experiences.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Rhode Island allow members to focus their conversation around one central theme related to alcohol addiction and recovery. Leaders will normally open the meeting with their own reflections, often referencing a related AA text, such as the Big Book. Then, others can provide inputs as they feel led.

Wheelchair Access: Rhode Island’s AA centers may have wheelchair access for non-ambulatory clients. Exterior features include ramps and designated parking, while the facility may have an open layout for meeting halls, restrooms, and amenities.

Women: Rhode Island women’s AA meetings are group meetings for women who are impacted by alcoholism - those who are suffering from alcohol addiction and those who have loved ones with alcohol addiction. Welcoming women of all ages in the community, these meetings follow a 12-step recovery program and are free to attend.
