Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Rhode Island are not available to the general public. Participation is limited to AA members and people seeking help for alcohol addiction. Discussions focus on alcoholism and related topics that are best understood by members with similar experiences.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Rhode Island allow members to focus their conversation around one central theme related to alcohol addiction and recovery. Leaders will normally open the meeting with their own reflections, often referencing a related AA text, such as the Big Book. Then, others can provide inputs as they feel led.

Men: Rhode Island AA centers provide free 12 Step Programs for participants recovering from alcohol use disorder. Select groups are reserved only for men, so that men of all ages can discuss issues pertaining to their health.
