Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: Alaska AA meetings may contain Big Book discussions to inspire clients. The Big Book refers to a basic Alcoholics Anonymous text that describes how past clients overcame alcohol use disorder.

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Alaska are open to AA members only, as well as anyone looking for help with a drinking problem. Non-members within the community are not able to attend. This creates a safe space for members to talk about sensitive topics that will resonate best with others in addiction recovery.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Alaska are centered around a core topic related to the program. One speaker will open the meeting by referencing a subject from an AA text, such as the Big Book, AA Grapevine, or As Bill Sees It. After they share briefly, other members can expand on the topic in a group discussion.

Women: Women’s AA meetings in Alaska are community support meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction. These meetings use a 12-step curriculum to help women at all stages of alcoholism recovery and women who are otherwise affected by alcoholism. They are open to women of all ages, free of charge.
