Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: In Nevada, AA programs frequently contain Big Book discussions to inspire clients. The Big Book features dozens of stories about real women and men who successfully controlled their alcohol use disorder.

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.

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.
