Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: In Vermont, AA discussion meetings give all members the opportunity to share their thoughts on a specific, addiction-related topic. Leaders will organize and guide the meetings, often referring back to AA texts such as the Big Book or Daily Reflections.

Open: Open AA meetings in Vermont are available to anyone in the community. Attendees do not have to be members of the program to listen and observe. These meetings are open to alcoholics and nonalcoholics alke, including anyone who wants to learn more about AA to support a friend or loved one in their recovery journey.

Step Meeting: Vermont’s AA centers often feature step meetings in their schedules. Step meetings are part of the 12 Step Program, in which members evaluate their progress based on AA texts and make recommendations on how to elevate their recovery for the step and for future steps.
