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.

Literature: Nevada literature-guided AA meetings are peer support meetings for people who are impacted by alcohol addiction, including those suffering from alcoholism and those who have loved ones addicted to alcohol. These group meetings study AA literature such as the Big Book of AA, AA workbooks, and other writings by AA founders and leaders. All are welcome to attend at no cost.

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.

Wheelchair Access: Non-ambulatory clients in Nevada may fully participate in AA meetings in centers that have wheelchair access. These features may include open layout, exterior ramps, and designated parking.
