Women’s AA Meeting

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In South Dakota, only members and indviiduals seeking help for alcohol addiction can attend open AA meetings. They are not accessible to outside community members. The discussion topics relate to alcoholism and recovery and everyone is invited to share.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in South Dakota provide a specific addiction-related topic for group members to discuss and reflect upon. Leaders often derive this topic from an AA text, such as Daily Reflections or the Big Book. Once they open with their initial thoughts, others are welcome to share their input.

Women: South Dakota women’s AA meetings are peer support meetings for women who are impacted by alcohol addiction - those who are suffering from alcoholism and those who have loved ones who are addicted to alcohol. Welcoming women of all ages in the community, these meetings are guided by a 12-step addiction recovery program and have no cost to attend.
