Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: Clients in Maryland AA centers often use the Big Book for inspiration. The book contains stories about real people who successfully controlled alcohol use disorder.

Closed: In Maryland, closed AA meetings are not accessible to the general public. The only people who can attend are current members and individuals who recognize they have a problem with drinking and want to find help. Discussions are informal and participation is encouraged.

Women: Women’s AA meetings in Maryland are peer support meetings for women who are affected by alcoholism, including women with alcohol addiction and those who have loved ones who are addicted to alcohol. These meetings, which use a 12-step recovery program, are free for women of all ages to attend.
