Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Nevada are structured around a central theme. The leader will start by sharing the topic, which may come from an AA text such as the Big Book or As Bill Sees It. After sharing their insights and offering encouragement to others, they’ll invite members to participate in the conversation.

Open: In Nevada, open AA meetings are accessible to anyone in the community. In addition to individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction, nonalcoholics can also attend to learn more about the 12 step program and how to support their friend or loved one in their recovery journey.

Smoking Permitted: Select AA chapters may allow permit smoking during the meeting or have a designated space for smoking in accordance with the facility’s policy and local ordinances. Smoking may include other tobacco usage and vaping.
