Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Arizona are for AA members only, or anyone who has a problem with drinking and wants to stop. Observers from the community are not allowed to attend. Discussions are informal and all members are invited to participate.

Meditation: Meditation AA meetings feature physical and emotional calmness as a main method of healing. The meetings open with 15 minutes of private mediation and close with an additional 5 minutes of meditation.

Step Meeting: AA members can hold step meetings as part of their recovery program. In Arizona, step meetings consist of reading about one stage of the 12 Step Program, and members discuss their progress and plan for the future.
