12 and 12 Study

Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Colorado's AA programs embrace the 12 Steps and Traditions model, offering a lifeline of support for those battling addiction. Meetings are open to all individuals and their loved ones and reinforce the reality that recovery is a journey that is better traveled with the support and guidance of peers.

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Colorado are restricted to just members or anyone who has a drinking problem and wants to seek help. Discussions are informal. Everyone is encouraged to participate and share about their alcohol addiction and recovery journey.

Literature: Colorado literature-centric AA meetings are peer group meetings for men and women who are impacted by alcohol addiction. Following a 12-step program, these meetings focus on studying AA literature, including the Big Book of AA, AA workbooks, and other writings by AA co-founder Bill W and other leaders. The meetings are free to attend.
