Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In New Jersey, closed AA meetings are not available to community observers. Only members and individuals seeking help for alcoholism can attend. The discussions focus on topics related to alcohol addiction and recovery, and all attendees are invited to participate.

Discussion: In New Jersey, AA discussion meetings give members the chance to share their insights, reflections, and opinions on a particular subject related to alcoholism and recovery. Leaders will normally begin by offering their own inputs, often referencing an AA text. Then, others can share.

Women: New Jersey women’s AA meetings are support meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction. Free to attend at no cost and open to all women, including women who are addicted to alcohol and those who have loved ones with alcoholism, these peer meetings use a 12-step addiction recovery program.
