Types of AA Meetings

11th Step Meditation: 11th Step Meditation is a spiritual-based stage in which members individually and collectively pray for greater strength to correct weaknesses and to make amends for injuries inflicted on others due to alcohol use disorder.

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.

Discussion: In Arizona, AA discussion meetings allow one member to share their personal experience, recovery journey, and hope for the future before opening the floor for others to share. They usually begin by referencing a topic from an AA text such as the Big Book, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, AA Grapevine, or others.

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.

Wheelchair Access: AA meetings in Arizona that have wheelchair accessibility allow clients to safely navigate the facility, which includes ramps and parking spots. Non-ambulatory clients have friendly access to meeting halls, restrooms, and any additional amenities.
